As I'm in the early stages of planning something a bit more immersive around my regional theatre project (hush hush at the moment 🤫), I'm diving back into my earlier forays into the subject. Here's me discussing my early work on the Beyond Shakespeare podcast last year! youtu.be/EAbGPLIdNF0?...

Some photos from my previous public history lecture at St. Mary's Guildhall Coventry, discussing all things Shakespeare, Midlands theatre, and mystery plays!

Let my CFP go forth into the world! Naturally, if you know me, you'll know my own research has focused on guildhalls for a couple of years now - but I've long wanted a book that considers other "theatres" of the Renaissance. So please, come and join me in proposing chapters 🙏

Ahead of launching the actual CFP, thought I'd give a little preview of a thing I'm doing 🫢

Naturally have to pay tribute to my forebears - mine is the most recent in a line of Middleton monographs that, coincidentally, we all seem to have independently started working on around the same time! (I've previously had the pleasure of reviewing both Mark's and Eric's)

And they look so nice as a pair too 😉

Feeling like a very proud book-dad.

The weather may be blisteringly hot today, but finally getting to open these was a very cool moment 😎📖

Thanks to everyone who was able to join us for this evening's book launch and who have sent in their well wishes today ☺️ (Here's an action shot of me and @tracelarkhall.bsky.social looking very scholarly mid-discussion, courtesy of my friend Josh Ballantyne)

We're celebrating with an online book launch at 5.30pm BST today - do join if you're free 🥳 www.crowdcast.io/c/theatre-of...

Guess who's book is published today 🥳 www.routledge.com/Thomas-Middl...

Can't quite wrap my head around the fact that my book, which was years in the making dating back to my PhD, will be published on Tuesday 😱

Next job: writing my next article commission for History Today. Here's a clue as to what this one is about.

Oh come on Beaulieu Abbey I'm on holiday let's not start a fight 🤦‍♂️

Made it to the White Bear in Kennington 😎 The Bakerloo line remains boiling. No idea how Londoners manage. Looking forward to showtime with @beyondshakes.bsky.social as we celebrate Anthony Munday's play of Sir Thomas More. (Rare bathroom mirror selfie)

On my way! And currently enjoying a bizarrely empty train 😎

I'm in History Today again, with a review of Indira Ghose's new book 🤗

Taking a bit of a break from working on this index to start prepping for my first professional public lecture 🤗 Coming to St. Mary's Guildhall Coventry on Sunday 3rd May!

Now has a cover 😍

Mate, it's been like a year! Don't disappear forever and then reappear on my route today with no explanation. Where have you been? 😭

drwillgreen.co.uk 🙂 I've had a varied year in 2025 so I'm now rolling out my independent research and heritage consultancy site. If you have any teaching or speaking needs, whether in an academic or museums setting, I may be your guy: get in touch at WDGreen.Research@gmail.com 🙂 (Please share!)

Heron right outside the patio 😳

Further adventures in freelance life: I've been asked to review this for History Today 😄

I'm in the November issue of History Today, with a piece inspired by the work I did for my recent AHRC postdoc and ongoing museum curation work 🙂

Currently working with my old uni's press office on my first ever press release.

Bye bye Elon. I'm not even going to support this manipulative bullshit by leaving my dormant account on your fascistic platform. It's time for as many right minded people as possible to stop helping to line this idiot's cavernous pockets.

Couldn't resist spending a bit of my holiday on the trail of more travelling players - this time at Boston Guildhall in Lincolnshire.

Thanks Tracey! Now I just need to hope I'm successful in getting this translated into my big project 😬

This is a momentous Friday - it's up and running! 😄 The fruits of my 2024-5 Nottingham postdoc, transforming an underused space at Shakespeare's Schoolroom & Guildhall. (The only permanent exhibition on early modern drama beyond Shakespeare, within an authentic early modern performance space.)

In June, I gave a lecture for the Hall's Croft Club. It was great to engage with the local community. I am open to further speaking opportunities (societies, museums, schools etc) and have several projects I'd love to share. If you know of any opportunities or want to speak directly, do message 🙂
