Welcome <br />
Welcome<br />
to Issue 5 of <strong>Shakespeare</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong><br />
This momentous year of 2014 draws to a close, and<br />
with it my first nine months as a full-time <strong>Shakespeare</strong><br />
journalist. It’s already been quite an education, but then,<br />
that’s exactly the point. I started the magazine so I could<br />
learn about <strong>Shakespeare</strong> and take others along with me<br />
for the ride. So far, the plan is working like a dream.<br />
I can think of no finer cover stars to round off our first year than<br />
Giles and Dan, whose wonderful Muse of Fire documentary has been<br />
reaping new <strong>Shakespeare</strong> converts across the globe. They’ve interviewed<br />
everyone who is anyone in their amazing <strong>Shakespeare</strong>an quest. Now it’s<br />
their turn to answer our questions...<br />
Also this month, I had the great pleasure of hosting <strong>Shakespeare</strong><br />
<strong>Magazine</strong> drinks with some of our contributors in Bristol and London.<br />
It was a chance for me to personally thank them for their excellent work<br />
this year, and to look forward to further <strong>Shakespeare</strong> shenanigans in<br />
2015 (including, I hope, at least one <strong>Shakespeare</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> live event).<br />
It just remains for me to thank Paul McIntyre, our estimable<br />
Art Editor, without whom this enterprise would be “but a walking<br />
shadow...”<br />
Enjoy your magazine, and Season’s Greetings to you all.<br />
