Have arrived in Torino to take up my visiting professorship at the university. The river Po is at the end of my street! It’s a grey day, but you can still see the city’s beauty. I’m so very much looking forward to meeting my students, delivering courses, and exploring this old dame.

My Texan students having the time of their lives at Mamma Mia in London s West End before heading back stateside. Thanks to Roddy Maude-Roxby , Jamie Beamish , Harriet Devine for adding theatrical insight to their stay (and Thomas Ostermeier, of course ; ))
