Any resemblance to actual PhD research I may be conducting @UTASEnglish is entirely coincidental. (Image: @Russel_Herneman)

PhD thesis: passed, no revisions 'Stoppard, Wittgenstein, and the Philosophy of Ethics: The Juggler on the Radio' Sincere thanks to my examiners, for your time, labour, and kind words Greatest thanks to my supervisors @UTAS_ , @drmilthorpe and Dr James Chase: sine quibus non
Always a pleasure to hear @Lawsonontheatre discussing Stoppard, especially on @theplaypod; in this case it's 'The Real Thing' 🎭 The scholarly joy of listening to a critic who opens acknowledging at least four different versions of the playtext... theplaypodcast.com/085-the-real-t…
WORLD RECORD of 2:09:56 for Ruth Chepng'etich at the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. She becomes the first woman to run inside 2:10.

Ultra running coverage on the BBC! ... with my coach @ultrabritton ... describing us as 'weird' 🤩 It's an intrinsically motivated sport. It's a good tell that if someone brags about being an ultra runner, they're probably not very good at it. bbc.com/sport/athletic…

Here are the bookies’ odds for the 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature. 📚 ⤵️ buff.ly/4dyODrG
Tom Stoppard, writer From my 1st shoot with him years ago - natural light, plain backdrop, textured wood tabletop, and a borrowed shirt
We are delighted to announce the official renaming of our Writers’ Room to ‘The Stoppard Room’ in honour of Sir Tom Stoppard’s outstanding contribution to, and impact on The London Library while serving as its President for 15 years and since then as Vice-President
We are working on a remembrance, but we cannot overstate the influence of #FredricJameson on Duke University Press. We have made his articles in our journals freely available through October 31. "Postmodernism" is our all-time bestselling book. ow.ly/kGvQ50TtqGz
Tara Dower > Scott Jurek > Karl Meltzer, on perhaps the longest and most iconic FKT there is. If Scott and Karl are legends within the sport of ultra-running (and they are), then Tara needs to be there with them. Phenomenal run, phenomenal athlete.
There's a new Appalachian Trail record holder! Tara Dower set an overall supported FKT on the 2,197-mile Appalachian Trail in 40 days, 18 hours, and 5 minutes, to be confirmed. Details: irunfar.com/tara-dower-app…
My excellent colleague @LisaFletcherTas and I had so much fun talking to Jen Hoyer at the @NewBooksNetwork podcast about ... well, our new book, Space, Place and Bestsellers, with @CambridgeUP . @UTASEnglish newbooksnetwork.com/space-place-an…
Opening night for Tom Stoppard's Leopoldstadt is here! This extremely talented cast and crew have been rehearsing at The Huntington Theatre for weeks. We are thrilled to present this show as the introduction to our 24/25 Season. See you later tonight! #LeoBOS 📸: Liza Voll
The complete edition of Sylvia Plath’s prose, including much unpublished and previously uncollected material, is out on 12 September. faber.co.uk/product/978057…
The staging of 'The Real Thing' @oldvictheatre is delicious... Here's the stage claiming to be a living room (labelled 'the real thing') Then the play begins, and it turns out that the stage is *actually* playing the part of a stage which is claiming to be a living room
My (submitted) PhD thesis is literally about Stoppard's plays and philosophy 😎 If only @Philosophy1984 had a menswear line, I might have had to consider wearing it for graduation...
Bel Powley commissioned Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini to make the actor a chartreuse and bubblegum silk look fit for a West End leading lady as she stars in Tom Stoppard’s The Real Thing . vogue.com/article/brit-g…
Arifa Akbar on another successful Stoppard revival - this time it's 'The Real Thing' (it was recently 'Rock 'n' Roll', and it may soon be 'Leopoldstadt') - and she highlights how wrongfooting the audience keeps them engaged and delighted though the subject matter dates... 🎭
