I reviewed The Medium at the Arcola Theatre for Everything Theatre: There are few things nicer on a rainy night than stepping into a cozy theatre bar and finding a delicious, hearty bean and chorizo stew to warm you up. My first time at the Arcola, I was pleased to find such treasures in the … Continue reading

The Merely Shakespeare Company … Continue reading

Who Needs an Ethnographer? Update
The folks over at Ethnography Matters picked up my post Who Needs an Ethnographer? considering the ways that a volunteer ethnographic project could be designed and how it could be community-led. I’m chuffed to bits to be featured on Ethnography Matters which I think is a fantastic publication with a great archive of useful insights. … Continue reading

In the upstairs theatre, The … Continue reading

Things to Do with Data (and Theatre)

When I try to explain about the data to the theatre people they either get vastly excited like I’m some kind of wizard, or the conversation dries up … Continue reading
Perils of Titus
Yesterday I went to see Titus Andronicus at the Globe with an old friend. I must admit, Titus isn’t a show I ever particularly wanted to see. I knew the plot slightly from my long-held enthusiasm for The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) and from my friend Tom’s PhD on the play–he’s trying to work … Continue reading
