A little news:
- first, stevegreer.org, a website with my name on it, and queer theory reader, a tumblr for day-to-day linkage and cultural politics commentary.
- The first draft of my book on contemporary British queer performance is now with my editors at Palgrave Macmillan; hopefully, I’ll get to share it with you later next year. I’m also writing a paper on queer publics in video-gaming culture which should appear rather sooner; a book chapter in a collection titled Performance After Identity should also appear in the spring.
- Though there was no main Penny Dreadfuls show at the Edinburgh Fringe this year, Thom, Humphrey and Dave all took strange, beautiful and funny solo shows to the festival. Humphrey, to his annoying credit, won the Best Newcomer comedy prize for Dimmock Watson: Nazi Smasher. Neil worked on Dave and Humphrey’s shows with his usual cunning, and Idil camped out in the Pleasance press office as the venue’s official photographer. I took ten days in the festival to actually see some theatre, something I’ve largely managed to avoid for over ten years.
- I’m itching to make some kind of theatre & comedy circuit podcast, an impulse I’ve managed to strangle twice before. Time to give it a whirl?
