Austin Tichenor @benbroadribb.bsky.social Gemma Allred I love St Trinian’s 2 so much I found a way to write about it for an article in #TWC43, open-access in case anyone is tempted! Read "Anti- #Shakespeare shrews: Women, sexism, and talking back to the Bard in #UpstartCrow and All Is True" here: bit.ly/4eGf9Ax Transformative Works and Cultures

It’s HERE! Publication day for Metamodernism in Contemporary British Theatre: A Politics of Hope/lessness Methuen Drama Bloomsbury Academic. I’m so excited that the first book focussed on metamodern theatre is finally set loose on the world!

The book provides a framework for how to identify and understand contemporary theatre that has moved beyond postmodernism and is now #metamodern – reflecting (& part of) a much wider shift in popular post-millennial culture – metamodernism bloomsbury.com/uk/metamoderni…

‘What’s metamodern theatre?’, I hear you cry! Well, it combines the postmodern aesthetics of irony, detachment & deconstruction with a paradoxical interest in authenticity, engagement and reconstruction

It’s at once ironic and sincere, apathetic and optimistic, together and apart, honest and fake, hopeful and hopeless. It tells stories, it revels in the communal act of theatre, and it makes us *feel*

Want more? Get your uni / local library to get a copy of the book! It’s worth it, I promise! It’s filled with examples of brilliant theatre companies and their brilliant work PLUS how the millennials’ particular generational experience has affected the theatre we (can/'t) create

Anyway - I'll be launching the book as part of the Metamodern Theatre Symposium UEL School of Arts and Creative Industries & streaming online 19.11.24 2pm-8pm GMT. I’ll be joined by brilliant theatre makers and scholars to explore metamodern theatre and its future. Free to attend: tickettailor.com/events/univers…

Highly recommend Kate Pitt's 'Shakespeare News' substack - a great source of genuinely interesting things happening in the world of Shakespeare, with a healthy smattering of humour! #Shakespeare #EarlyModern shakespearenews.substack.com

Rest in peace to Quincy Jones, who, as a producer, film scorer and solo artist, quite simply did it all. He has been sampled by Mobb Deep and the Pharcyde; composed the music for 'The Color Purple'; and produced both "We Are the World" and Michael Jackson's 'Thriller,' the latter

A song I've loved ever since I first heard it on the 'Jackie Brown' soundtrack. Listening and sharing today in honour of its producer, the incomparable Quincy Jones. RIP. youtu.be/PZa4MEtpDd4?si…
