Edward’s Boys, the winner of the 2024 British Shakespeare Association Innovation Award! – The Award recognises the work of Edward’s Boys “to continually provoke, inspire, entertain, and educate us, to challenge long-standing critical assumptions about the abilities of boy actors, and to test the stage-worthiness of the early modern repertory.”
Following the performance of the Hester Double-Bill for the BSA Conference in York, Professor Elisabeth Dutton and Perry Mills led a seminar discussion for delegates on both the challenges of the only extant text and the production choices.
Perry Mills delivered a paper at the Société Internationale pour l’étude du théâtre medieval Conference in Fribourg, Switzerland. His topic was producing plays from the medieval and early modern periods containing potentially incendiary material.
We know for a fact that Henry VIII walked on these flagstones!
