Performer, writer, producer - founder of Beyond Shakespeare, but I won't be doing much of that here. Mostly other stuff.

@robertcrighton.bsky.socialThere isn't a lot of love for the later additions to Mirror (and there's a fair amount of will-this-do about in the text) but once this one gets going... he goes somewhere with it. Not a happy place, but that's kinda the gig for this sort of text. Reading it I did go, oh, I can work with this...
