We mentioned the play Arden of Faversham a couple of times - which coincidentally happens to be my #AudioDrama choice for April, as you'll see below...

This was a challenge - but an enjoyable one: Talk about #ShakespeareOnTheRadio 💀🎧 without mentioning #Shakespeare
Actually, I didn't do badly and had a great time talking to Robert Crighton about early modern playwrights and how their work has been interpreted for audio

A few piccies of our beautiful new library at the #UniversityOfSuffolk
Some really great study spaces, easy to find study aids and a lovely airy atmosphere.
Obviously I headed for 822.33 (Dewey decimal code for #Shakespeare) and was delighted to find #ShakespeareOnTheRadio 💀🎧

Happy #WorldBookDay

BBC Radio 3 - Drama on 3 Series of drama performances, ranging from experimental works to the Classics

#BBCSounds – search Drama On 3 or Drama On 4. I’m personally a big fan of the plays in the Drama on 3 section (more thoughts on that to come in 2026) and it’s where you’ll find 20 productions of #Shakespeare.

A couple of weeks ago, I had a great time at #IpswichBookFestival
This is me talking about Shakespeare's Henry V - the clip starts just after I mentioned Laurence Olivier's 1944 film.
Coincidentally Henry V was my #Shakespeare play choice for October

Had a great time at the #IpswichBookFestival earlier talking about my book #ShakespeareOnTheRadio 💀🎧
Very flattered by the number of people who came. These pics give you an idea of me in action. Towards the end I'm ripping some celery to simulate breaking bones!

You can see another monthly #Shakespeare recommendation on my Instagram - or below.
The 25th of Oct is St Crispin's Day so I chose Henry V (although I'm actually more interested in whether a diplomatic marriage can also be a love match).
