London-based folks, put July 25 in your diary! It's the date of the first performance by a new theatre group, Trans What You Will, which will perform a rehearsed reading of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night," directed by and cast with trans and nonbinary performers. The event will be opened by Sir Ian McKellen and staged at The Space Theatre, on the eve of London Trans Pride. And international people won't be left out — a global livestream will be available. Here's more from Attitude magazine, including links to buy tickets for both the IRL event and the livestream.

Attitude · Sir Ian McKellen to open historic all-trans and nonbinary production of Twelfth NightDirector Phoebe Kemp said: "Twelfth Night already toys with gender and performance – it feels like Shakespeare wrote it for us"

Thanks to FB memories, I've been reminded that on this day in 2015 I was in London, at the home of Sir Ian McKellen, filming for a course I was producing for the University of Warwick. Sir Ian was in conversation with Prof Sir Jonathan Bate, discussing Shakespeare's King Lear and the subject of dementia in literature. A real professional high point for me, and very fond memories of a very generous man, inviting us into his home with all our camera equipment. #MOOC #Literature #SirIanMcKellen
