Mind slightly blown. Jonathan Glazer, the Oscar winning director of Zone of Interest, used to direct music videos & advert in the 90s. He did the Virtual Insanity one for Jamiroquai and a couple for Radiohead. He also did the famous Guinness surfers ad. Had no idea.
How awful. Solidarity with you all.
Let's hope it's the right Bethan!

In what (I hope!) will be the first in a series of events taking To the Lighthouse *back* to Skye, Bethan Roberts and I will be leading a workshop in Portree on Tues 5th May, reflecting on how Woolf's novel resonates with sustainability, housing, and tourism today atlasarts.org.uk/programme/to...
Peter, if this is the Bethan Roberts I think it is (I did a quick google) then we did our MA together back in 2008. Not sure if you need to know this information, but thought I would share
I do have something semi interesting to say about this but alas I cannot
Is it breaking strike action for me to complain about the AI guy who doesn't like early modern tragedy?
Just saw the local kingfisher again
We're on strike again! You can read more about why here: www.ucuedinburgh.org.uk/blog/d8mewmx... University management not sticking to their word? Who would have thought it? Please spread the word!

Delighted to join the editorial board of a journal I've long admired. We publish in all areas of Shakespearea performance including early modern & not-Shakespearean stuff so please consider sending us your work & spread the word!
Whoa it is my 12 year vivaversary - also sometimes known as St Patrick's Day
We've been doing Tempest adaptations over the last couple of weeks (Césaire today). The weather has been really bad so I have been able to say 'looks like there's a bit of a tempest outside' in each of my classes.
Sounds like this is similar to what Warwick University attempted in 2015, outsourcing some staff to a subsidiary firm called Teach Higher. That effort was defeated by local opposition. www.ucu.org.uk/article/7541...
Hopefully it's not too late for Sheffield Hallam staff to do the same here.
Yeah I want if off my course. Thanks for recommending FP!
Looking for Tempest adaptation reccommendations. I currently do Césaire and Jarman but don't like the Taymor and would rather dispense with it. Any suggestions?
Excellent. Thanks again!
Thanks! I thought it looked different from other coromorants I've seen but I am obviously not very observant! I also associate them with the sea so wasn't expecting one on a lake. You live and learn!

Anyone know what bird this is? Some kind of heron?
Me too!
Thanks! I'll have a look and see re Berek! I know there's some work on cast lists/dramatic personae etc but his is a slightly different case
Has anyone written about references to non-title characters on early modern printed book title pages? Most playbook title pages don't refer to characters beyond those that are eponymous but some do (including several now very famous plays) in interesting & sometimes surprising ways.
Yes that sounds good, thanks! Don't know Benjamin as well as I should!
The UK government is proposing radical and punitive changes to settlement rules. This is settlement, not citizenship. The consultation is open until 12 February; please respond to it and oppose these evil proposals. Amnesty have a good guide: www.amnesty.org.uk/resources/gu...
Haven't read that. Cheers, will take a look!
Yes - thanks, this rings a distant bell!
Yes for sure there can be comfort in the ritual of watching or reading something you know well
Yes, thanks, this is the sort of thing I mean.
Yes, thanks, interested to hear more will be thinking about this for a good long time I suspect!
And how much of what is different will I actually notice or care about when what I have come for us is the same again?
