Online Readthrough for Sunday 21st June, The Changeling by Thomas Middleton and William Rowley

This week's readthrough will be The Changeling, by Thomas Middleton, because we haven't had enough ridiculous tragicomic Renaissance drama. The script is available in HTML format here, and I've converted it to epub and mobi, which you can download from here. Wikipedia has a synopsis and list of characters. As ever, let me know about any part preferences in the comments.

Trans politics

I'm not sure if there's anyone reading this who doesn't know that I'm trans, but, well, now there definitely isn't.

I decided a few years ago to go non-disclosing, because as far as I'm concerned it's a minor detail of my medical history that people don't really need to know, and I felt more comfortable if I wasn't always having to wonder if people accepted me as a man, or if every bit of gender-non-conformity would be seen as evidence that I'm not really. But you know what, fuck that. This is a public post. I am re-outing myself, and giving general permission for people to disclose on my behalf.
