Ogoe addresses conflations in Shakespeare where new stories are created by merging texts #BritGrad

Well, Macbeth, obviously (with the 3rd one turning up - seemingly rather unnecessarily)
- also we wrote three murderers into our pseudo-Jacobean tragedy The Lady of Chabry (which we’re reading tonight for #BritGrad)!

Title page of an old play, in old spelling (but written in the last eighteen months): THE NOBLE LADY Of Chabry PRESENTED BEFORE his Maieste, the Queenes Maiestie, the Prince, Count Palatine and the Lady Elizabeth their Highnesses, in the Banqueting house at White-hall on Wednesday the twentieth day of lanuarie, 1612. & sundry times Acted, by his Maieties Seruants, at the Globe, on the banke-side. LONDON. Printed by T. C. for Nathaniel Butter, and are to be sold at his shop in Paul Church-yard at the signe of the Pide Bull neere St. Austins Gate. 1613.

This evening at @britgrad.bsky.social we read a play - if you’re at the Shakespeare Institute for #Britgrad come & read with us.

(* please note: this is not a real Jacobean tragedy, performed by Shakespeare’s company! We wrote it ourselves, but we do like to think that it is quite convincing.)

Delighted to be presenting on Postgraduate academic writing practices @britgrad in a few weeks time for the @unibirmingham College of Arts and Law Academic Writing Advisory Service (AWAS) with Tamara Batty!
