Today marks 400 years since John Fletcher’s death: the Jacobean playwright died of the plague and was buried at St. Saviour’s (now Southwark Cathedral) on 29 August 1625. I’m guest-editing a special Ben Jonson Journal issue celebrating this anniversary: coming soon!

Not sure there’s much I can add to what Clare says, but… if you’ll forgive a little self-indulgence, here are the ads we took out in NME and Melody Maker at the time. The paper’s yellowed a bit over the years, but… the words still seem to say what we meant them to say.

Ever since it was unveiled, there’s been something naggingly familiar about Orient’s retina-bothering 25/26 season third strip, and… I’ve just twigged what it is: bizarrely, the inspiration seems to be the Field Mice’s dandelion-tastic 91/92 For Keeps tour T-shirt.

That’s a hell of an introductory paragraph.
“No American President has ever before issued executive orders like the one at issue in this lawsuit targeting a prominent law firm with adverse actions to be executed by all Executive branch agencies but, in purpose and effect, this action draws from a playbook as old as Shakespeare, who penned the phrase: “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.” WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, HENRY VI, PART 2, act 4, sc. 2, l. 75. When Shakespeare’s character, a rebel leader intent on becoming king, see id. l. 74, hears this suggestion, he promptly incorporates this tactic as part of his plan to assume power, leading in the same scene to the rebel leader demanding “[a]way with him,” referring to an educated clerk, who “can make obligations and write court hand,” id. l. 90, 106. Eliminating lawyers as the guardians of the rule of law removes a major impediment to the path to more power. See Walters v. Nat’l Ass’n of Radiation Survivors, 473 U.S. 305, 371 n.24 (1985) (Stevens, J., dissenting) (explaining the import of the same Shakespearean statement to be “that disposing of lawyers is a step in the direction of a totalitarian form of government”).”
