Updated December 2018
Towards the end of the year I've been focusing on getting things finished off. (With my co-editors Rebecca Kastlemann and Kevin Riordan) I have been putting the finishing touches to a new edition of Modernism/Modernity Print Plus on 'Modernist Drama in a Global Context'. I have completed the final edits on an article on Chekhov translator Elisaveta Fen for Theatre Survey, and have finished my forthcoming article on wrestling and fakery for Modernism/Modernity. I've also recently completed a collaborative book chapter (with Ben Litherland and Tom Phillips) entitled 'Is this Progress? Punk, Participation and the (Potential) Radical Politics of British Wrestling' for a book on Politics and Wrestling (Seagull Press 2019). Looking towards the next few years, my co-editor Adrian Curtin and I have a new edited collection proposal entitled Modernist Drama in Contemporary Theatre (or some such) under publisher's consideration at the moment. This project will enable me to finally write about Ernst Toller, a figure I have admired since my PhD-days. Having recently secured a Modernist Studies Association Travel Grant, I'll be heading out to the Toller archives at Yale University in January. I'm also leading a reading group for the Anglo-Russian Research Network so do check that out if you happen to be in London in February (and are interested in British appropriations of Russian avant-garde theatrical techniques).
The Wrestling Resurgence project continues into 2019. Do check out the instagram site if you are interested in attending a show or want to catch up with the best of arthouse wrestling via pay-per-view.
I'm also beginning to think about my next monograph...but that is for another day...
