Hamnet The RSC returns to launch the US tour of β€œelegant & beguiling” adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s novel about Agnes and William Shakespeare…

What's on tap today? I'm off to Chicago Shakespeare Theater to give the Scholar PreAmble for the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of "Hamnet." Wish me luck!

I'll have a second run at my PreAmble on 3/1. Hope you Chicagoans and burb folk can come on out!

Social media post that says: I get it that vampires don't cast a reflection, but are their clothes made of vampire? And if a vampire wore make-up, wouldn't we see them? Is make-up made of vampire? What about ghosts? Why aren't ghosts naked? Are their clothes ghosts, too? I have too many questions.
