MBU Shakespeare and Performance

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!

And let us know if you have questions, suggestions, or comments for any of the topics. We would love to put you in touch! #AcademicTwitter

Phew, we had an amazing THREE DAYS of thesis presentations. Our students are raising such interesting questions with their research. Curious? Peruse the program! drive.google.com/file/d/1W5GrRc…

From November 6-8, our Shakespeare and Performance Master of Letters students will gather for this semester's Thesis Festival! 🎭 Check out @MBU_Shakespeare to learn more about our Shakespeare & Performance students and their thesis topics! #thesisfest22

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!

I'm sure we've got some folks in our network with tips and tricks! Let's hear 'em!

Today’s the day!!!!!!

@jesshamlet We are *so* excited to be there.

We are thrilled to have our own in house critic with Dr. Kirwan's joining of the S&P team!
