Porter and Clarke were the first editors to base their edition and analysis on the text of Shakespeare’s First Folio of 1623, a back-to-basics approach which got rid of three centuries of editorial attempts to “correct” or “improve” the original text.

イギリス英語でシェイクスピア劇やってる動画ないかな〜って探してたらタイトルに「Theatre」って入ってるやつが目に入って笑っちゃった 輝きすぎてる、綴りが 闇夜の街頭くらい光ってる
でも調べたら劇場のあるフォルジャーシェイクスピア図書館自体はアメリカの研究施設だった 立ち上げた人もアメリカ人みたいだから敬意を表してのことなんだろうか

Farewell to Tom Stoppard.
I’ve loved Arcadia ever since I saw it in the 90s. I’ve seen other work since (Daniel Radcliffe v good in Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead at the Old Vic!) but Arcadia somehow always remained my favourite.
Goodnight to a real one. You can’t hold back entropy. Or can you?

At the end of February, Luis Carazo did a lovely talk at the Folger in DC that I was lucky enough to attend. 💕
They've put up a recording of it on YouTube, and I highly recommend giving it a watch if you're remotely interested in TTRPGs and their place within the broader realm of storytelling.
