Anyone aware of any non-Shakespeare early modern plays being performed Jan-Mar 2026 in London? Setting texts for a Renaissance Drama module and would love to track down something the students can go and see!

Lots of fun getting students to collate, fold, and stab-stitch Hamlet Q1 today (adapted from @roaringgirle.bsky.social’s class!). And now have a little interactive quarto for my office door 📖
