Happy Pride Month! Let’s take a look at one of the big questions people always ask about Shakespeare.
Consulting pocket dramaturg: Kate Pitt
If you want to learn more about Shakespeare’s queerness I recommend Straight Acting: The Hidden Queer Lives of William Shakespeare, by Will Tosh. I’ve just started it but so far it’s doing a great job examining what queerness looked like in Shakespeare’s time.
Ann Arbor Comic Arts Festival
I will be at the Ann Arbor Comic Arts Festival this weekend, June 13-14, at the Downtown Ann Arbor District Library. I will also be running a “how to draw stick-figures” workshop on Saturday, June 13 at 11:30am. I realize that (a) this is very late notice, and (b) most of you aren’t in the Ann Arbor area, but if you are… stop by and say hello! I will have printed mini-comic versions of the above comic available!
Shakespeare Anyone? Podcast
I had the pleasure of talking with Elyse and Kourtney of the Shakespeare Anyone? podcast a few weeks ago and the episode featuring me is up now! Give it a listen if you have time; it was a fun conversation and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
