My fantastic colleague @paulmenzer publishes his new biography of Shakespeare today, which is without question the funniest (and therefore the best) Life of Shakespeare on the market. Whatever you do, buy! @MBU_Shakespeare
*Out now* 'William Shakespeare: A Brief Life' by Paul Menzer is a short biography of Shakespeare giving an engaging and fresh overview of his life and times. 📖: https://t.co/QxwLqigwhm

Have you heard? Faculty member @paulmenzer publishes a book today! If it is anything like his courses, it is sure to be an engaging, informative, and amusing read. Sound off with congrats and/or your favorite memory from a legendary Dr. Menzer lecture!

We are back at it again! This morning's presentations have covered cutting H5 as an epic, using devising for Shakespeare, modern use of regional accents on the Shakespearean stage, the effects of Shakespeare on Italian opera, and redefining the way we categorize Shax's plays.

Tonight begins our annual #ThesisFest! The session spans from culinary practices of EM kitchens, to La Frontera as a lens to explore the romance genre, to the exploration in Shakespeare's political thrillers, to tracking how violence appears in Shax's work over his career!

Today’s the day!!!!!!
Happy publication day to @michaelmwagoner whose new book 'Interruptions in Early Modern English Drama' looks at interruption as a linguistic and dramatic form that delineates the balance of power within a scene. https://t.co/WAQBaF6GZU

We are thrilled to have our own in house critic with Dr. Kirwan's joining of the S&P team!
Something I'm enjoying experimenting with at @MBU_Shakespeare is integrating some tenets of embedded criticism into my pedagogy, and this piece is the outward-facing component of a longer process of working with our MFA company on their first self-directed show. /1
