about

This is the website of Steve Greer, an academic, researcher and producer working in the UK. I have a background in comedy and improvisation, and my research interests currently include activism through performance, queer theory and social gaming. I’m currently a lecturer in Drama, Theatre and Performance at the University of Aberystwyth.

For the last few years, I’ve also been one of the live theatre producers for The Penny Dreadfuls, a Victorian-themed comedy group. For reviews of our sell-out run of Aeneas Faversham Foverever at the Edinburgh Fringe, click here. Further information and upcoming live dates are listed on their website here. Their second BBC Radio 7 series aired this Autumn and will be repeated on Radio 4 in the new year.

You can reach me at steve [at] readwriteplay [dot] co [dot] uk, or by leaving a comment somewhere on the site.

Current students should use my departmental email contact or, in an emergency, use a me-shaped bat-signal on low level cloud.
