HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILLIAM!

“It is my birthday. I had thought t’ have held it poor”
- Antony and Cleopatra
Act 3, Scene 13

“Today is your birthday. It’s my birthday too, yeah”
- The Beatles
Yep, today is Willy Shakes birthday and the Bard is still going strong.  In fact, our favourite, self-doubting, quill-wielding creator turns 449 today!
It’s been [...]

Kill Shakespeare is coming to HalCon and the stage!

Halifax has ALWAYS been one of our, if not our absolute, favourite shows on the schedule.

The combination of excellent organizers, a lively and interested crowd, and the hospitality Atlantic Canada is famous for makes it a winner in our books.
This year we’re going to be doing even more at HalCon than usual — we’re bringing [...]

Blogging Shakespeare!

One of the highlights of our trip to England for two weeks this month was meeting with some of the world’s top minds on Shakespeare.  One such individual is Dr. Rev. Paul Edmondson, who is currently the Head of Research and Knowledge of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust.  Dr. Edmondson is also the General Editor for [...]

Vloging from Stratford-upon-Avon

Conor and I visited Stratford-upon-Avon earlier today and had some great meetings with a number of top Shakespearean scholars, movers and shakers.  The rain-and-then-sunny-then-rain-again couldn’t keep our spirits down as the day began with a trip to the Shakespeare Birthplace – the house that the Bard was born and raised in (and then took over [...]

Sat, May 12 – Sun, May 13 – Bristol Comic [...]

C2E2 Camera Connection!

I know that it’s been two weeks since C2E2 in Chicago but I’m only now getting around to posting some photos from the trip.  I apologize for this – the last two weeks have been quite busy with the Middle East Film & Comic-Con trip, then catching up on everything.  I’ll also post the Dubai [...]

Blowing winds take us to C2E2 this weekend!

The past few weeks have been an absolute blur – and blast – which have found me in Anaheim/LA (WonderCon and meetings), Seattle (Emerald City), Boston (SAA) and, in a few days, Chicago.  Which, of course, will be very promptly followed by Dubai (but more on that tomorrow…).

I’m heading to Chicago later this week to [...]

All the World’s the SAA!

Conor and I just got back from the Shakespeare Association of America’s 2012 conference, held in Boston the past three days. Despite my lack of sleep I’m still on a high from the days there.  The SAA is an organization devoted to the study of Shakespeare and his plays and how they from a part [...]

Shakespeare Plenary Presentation

Conor and I are currently at the Shakespeare Association of American Annual Conference in Boston and winning over a LOT of people to our series.  It’s been a great time and the highlight was this morning when Peter Holland (University of Notre Dame) profiled us in his plenary presentation this morning to all delegates.  Here [...]
