#burbage — Public Fediverse posts

14.5 miles of family cycling from Nuneaton to Burbage, exploring part of the scarecrow trail, and back home again. Including a stop off at the canalside pub on the way back too. Very nice indeed!

@CristinaLAlfar Victory!

Using those search terms, I found this article, which includes an excerpt from a funeral elegy that lists many #Shakespeare an roles #Burbage played including Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello, Romeo, and Shylock.

@CristinaLAlfar maybe you can help me with this #Burbage question -- or point me toward someone who knows...

Hey #Shakespeare freaks (academic or otherwise) ... here is a question.

For years, I have read and heard uncited but confident statements about roles we "know" Richard #Burbage played: Hamlet, Othello, Lear, Bottom. Is there a contemporary source that confirms him having played these or other parts? If so, what is it?
