Gill managed to stretch out her MA in Shakespeare and Theatre at the Shakespeare Institute for nearly four years and carried on as part of the Thursday evening play-reading group until the advent of the pandemic. An escaped English and Drama teacher, she's passionate about Early Modern plays and intrigued by the personnel involved, and has missed only a handful of the Zoom readings since they started. She has a supply of hats and scarves to hand for (over-)dramatic effect and enjoys both the frivolous side of the

chat-box and the intellectual fascination of working out links between the plays and their original creators.
