Today, Exeunt turns 10 – and we're marking our birthday by unearthing some treasures from the archives.
First up, it's Daniel B Yates' original manifesto for digital criticism, which won the honour of a sneery reference in Private Eye

Next up, here's co-founding editor Natasha Tripney's look back at Exeunt's first five years in operation http://exeuntmagazine.com/features/exeunt-first-five-years/
Here's Deborah Pearson's essay The Necessity of Narrative - exploring difficult questions about performance + stories, and asking if storytelling is just "a neurotic quirk of the human species. A kind of coping mechanism or security blanket." http://exeuntmagazine.com/features/the-necessity-of-narrative/
Here's the first time Exeunt reviewed a 'found' performance. Little did we know, we'd be doing quite a bit more of that in the show-starved pandemic years of '20/'21... http://exeuntmagazine.com/features/the-east-coast-trains-show/
Duška Radosavljević's 10 Traits of Theatre-Making in the 21st Century found its way onto quite a few university syllabuses for its crystal-clear characterisation of an emerging kind of performance http://exeuntmagazine.com/features/ten-traits-of-theatre-making-in-the-21st-century/
So far we haven't posted many reviews! but Exeunt's writers increasingly started to experiment with new ways to respond to performance - like Dave Ralf's vivid doodle ode to Fun Palaces
http://exeuntmagazine.com/features/fun-palaces/
http://exeuntmagazine.com/features/fun-palaces/
& Tim Bano's podcast's responses - this one to Alistair McDowall's X was an enigmatic highlight http://exeuntmagazine.com/podcasts/x-ground-control-to-major-tim/
& dialogue reviews, like Tom Wicker and Stewart Pringle chatting about The Boy Who Kicked Pigs (under the watchful eye of a menacing pub landlord)

http://exeuntmagazine.com/reviews/the-boy-who-kicks-pigs/
& reviews that explore what it's like to have an overwhelmingly personal response to something, like Tracey Sinclair's write-up of Working Class Dinner Party
http://exeuntmagazine.com/features/working-class-dinner-party/
http://exeuntmagazine.com/features/working-class-dinner-party/
Salome Wagaine's review explored feeling "viscerally disappointed" in An Octoroon http://exeuntmagazine.com/features/an-octoroon/
One of the most read pieces on Exeunt ever is Nemo Martin's Les Misérables So White - looking at how online fandoms are recasting a story of struggle http://exeuntmagazine.com/features/les-miserables-white/
If you want to relive the delicious sensation of carping about shows in crowded pubs, then check out Exeunt's Irrational Theatre Dislikes - where we aired our petty dislikes of tropes like stage rain and 'dark fairytales' http://exeuntmagazine.com/features/exeunts-mostly-irrational-dislikes/
Maddy Costa's piece on criticism and circles of power dug into theatre's tenacious hierarchies http://exeuntmagazine.com/features/theatre-criticism-circles-power/
Alice Saville's review of Bitter Wheat reached new levels of meta - exploring what it's like when you just can't bring yourself to analyse something http://exeuntmagazine.com/reviews/review-bitter-wheat-garrick-theatre/
And Ava Wong Davies' response to The Hunt took the form of a battle with a nagging voice inside her head http://exeuntmagazine.com/reviews/review-hunt-almeida-theatre/
As we sit wondering when and how theatre is coming back, here's Selina Thompson's vision of Post Pandemic #Work http://exeuntmagazine.com/features/post-pandemic-work/
There is so, so, so, so, so, so, so much more we could post. A decade's worth of writing about the performance scene we love so much. But we'll leave it here, with heartfelt thanks to the writers, editors, readers and supporters who've helped Exeunt survive this decade
