The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 16.0786 Tuesday, 26A April 2005 From: Peter Greenfield <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. > Date: Monday, 25 Apr 2005 13:44:24 -0700 Subject: Early Modern Drama Topics for MRDS Sessions With apologies for cross-posting: This message is aimed mainly at those members of the Medieval and Renaissance Drama Society who work in early modern drama and rarely attend the Kalamazoo Medieval Congress. Since the society holds its annual business meeting at Kalamazoo, members who don't attend that conference don't have much chance to participate in decisions, particularly about the topics for paper sessions at conferences. MRDS sponsors sessions not only at the medieval congresses at Kalamazoo and Leeds, but also at each year's MLA Convention, the most likely venue for early modern sessions. Thus, I would like to invite members specializing in the early modern to suggest topics for the society to consider at the annual meeting at Kalamazoo this May. (Since Shakespeare gets extensive coverage at SAA, MLA and elsewhere, we are looking mainly for topics on early modern drama other than Shakespeare, but a topic linking other drama to Shakespeare would be considered.) If chosen by the membership, topics in early modern would most likely be scheduled for the December 2006 MLA convention. (Topics not chosen this year may be held over for subsequent years, and some topics might turn out to be well suited to Kzoo or Leeds.) I am currently a member of the MRDS council, and will be happy to bring suggestions to the meeting. In order to be accepted a topic will have to have a guaranteed organizer, but neither the suggester nor the organizer need to be present at the meeting. Suggestions are also welcome from scholars who are not yet members of MRDS; one can join anytime online at <http://www.byu.edu/~hurlbut/mrds/dues/mrds_dues_pay.htm> I hope this invitation will generate some fascinating topics, and perhaps help MRDS members working in the early modern period become more active in the society. Yours, Peter Greenfield Editor, Research Opportunities in Medieval and Renaissance Drama Department of English University of Puget Sound Tacoma, WA 98416-1045 USA _______________________________________________________________ S H A K S P E R: The Global Shakespeare Discussion List Hardy M.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 16.0784 Tuesday, 26A April 2005 From: Ben Spiller <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. > Date: Monday, 25 Apr 2005 12:00:25 +0100 Subject: Shakespeare at BBC Gardeners World Live Hi there To follow on from Daniel Traister's notice on a very interesting Shakespeare-garden event (thanks Daniel), 1623 theatre company will be performing Shakespearean scenes in a Globe Theatre Garden at this year's BBC Gardeners' World Live at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, UK. The garden has been designed by a student from Broomfield Horticultural College in Derbyshire and features flowers, plants and trees from Shakespeare's plays including Juliet roses on a balcony, Titania's bower and Ophelia's brook with an overhanging willow. Venus the Goddess of Love will be making a special guest appearance to guide visitors through the plays and the garden. For more information, here is the 1623 website: www.1623theatre.co.uk (the site is still in its formative stages, although there is a holding page with lots of information on the company and its work on Shakespeare in non-traditional theatre spaces). The BBC Gardeners' World Live website is here: www.bbcgardenersworldlive.com. The event takes place between 15 and 19 June, and the Globe Theatre Garden is the first garden you will meet when you enter the NEC. I am the Artistic Director of the company and am currently attempting to secure some funding/sponsorship for marketing material. As the company is still very young (we formed last Summer), we are very keen to raise our profile and this prestigious annual BBC event seems the right moment to focus on raising awareness. I am approaching Penguin books at the moment because, as many of you will already know, the Penguin Shakespeare series is being re-issued with new introductory essays (I've read Carol Rutter's Macbeth work so far; it's stunning), and it seems that the new series and our company would both benefit from exposure at the event (the plan is to distribute publicity material for the Penguin Shakespeares alongside our own). So, if you or anyone you know may be interested in supporting us with publicity costs (only a few hundred pounds at the most), I'd be very interested to hear from you to discuss mutual benefits of publicity at this huge national event. My address isThis email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and I'm willing to share my 'phone number offline. Please also contact me if you're interested in receiving an information pack, which details the company's work so far and outlines our plans for future development (particularly Shakespeare in rural venues including village halls). Best wishes, Ben. _______________________________________________________________ S H A K S P E R: The Global Shakespeare Discussion List Hardy M.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 16.0783 Sunday, 24 April 2005 From: Elliott Stone <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. > Date: Friday, 22 Apr 2005 16:29:51 -0400 Subject: 16.0772 Ralph Crane: Accidental Editor Comment: Re: SHK 16.0772 Ralph Crane: Accidental Editor I would like to congratulate Mr Briggs for pointing out to the readers the obvious connection in the "Lady of the Strachey" between William Strachey and Ben Jonson found in TN. Strachey and Jonson were business partners in The Children's Theatre. Ben, as the editor of the First Folio, was in the position to tease his old buddy by this "in joke" lost to the present generation. Best, Elliott H.
