Well that was a nice little tribute to Dr. Gurr. I now have a much greater appreciation for Shakespearean head-wear. For those of you playing along at home, Andrew Gurr's The Shakespearean Stage is one of the cornerstones of early modern dramaturgical research, so of course the ASC actors have chosen to celebrate Gurr's Shakespearean Hats in their tribute to him this afternoon. An why not? As Dr. Menzer points out, the first edition of that work stands complete. Maybe that's why they're calling on Dr. Gurr to take the next logical step in completing this corpus of costuming and complete his long delayed work on Shakespeare's trousers.
How long will we be denied an equally seminal work on early modern pants? Only time will tell, but judging by the standing ovation Dr. Gurr received, this crowd will find it worth the wait.
So I guess I lied, but for reals this time, I'll be back around 5 with another update.
