Heritage Open Days 2025 came to an end yesterday - which means it was one year ago that I was doing a series of talks about our project at the Guild Chapel in Stratford-upon-Avon.

This is a momentous Friday - it's up and running! 😄

The fruits of my 2024-5 Nottingham postdoc, transforming an underused space at Shakespeare's Schoolroom & Guildhall.

(The only permanent exhibition on early modern drama beyond Shakespeare, within an authentic early modern performance space.)

The exhibition includes physical media and digital content which is currently being produced by Wide Sky Design, a Nottingham-based digital heritage business. The work will transform the space, exploring the guildhall as a venue that hosted travelling players from 1568 fo 1622.

Thank you to all who have followed this account so far! This project grew out of an AHRC-funded knowledge exchange partnership with Shakespeare's Schoolroom & Guildhall + the University of Nottingham in 2024-5. For this, we curated a new interpretation of an underutilised space - opening very soon!

I'm not quite sure what I plan to do with it yet, but ahead of my new exhibition fully opening at Shakespeare's Schoolroom & Guildhall later in the year, I've set up a BlueSky for the Travelling Players Project! Check out @travellingplayers.bsky.social for what I hope will be some exciting updates 🙂
