Behind the Scenes at the SOF is a new series of interviews exploring what the Shakespeare Oxford Fellowship does and who actually makes it happen.
In this first interview, author and researcher Bonner Miller Cutting joins Bob Meyers to talk about about her many SOF roles: serving on the Conference Committee, Video Contest Committee, and Research Grant Committee, chairing the Nominating Committee, being Secretary of the Board of Trustees, and spending time at the Blue Boar Tavern.
Somehow, Bonner also finds the time to be a leading Oxfordian scholar. Her book Necessary Mischief covers topics as diverse as Will Shakspere’s will, the ‘second-best bed’ he left to his wife, and the 1,000-pound annuity given to Edward de Vere for life by the Queen – with no purpose stated and no accounting required.
