Patrick Stewart’s Making It So story of being Launce & what the dog did on stage…
„No production of The Two Gentlemen of Verona is complete without a dog …
Crab the dog in this production was played by Ria in the UK. According to tradition, the original Crab belonged to the famous Elizabethan clown, Will Kempe, who played Launce.“

That white fog isn’t just hiding the jungle—it mirrors how “civilization” blinds itself to the darkness it carries within. The real threat isn’t out there; it’s in the hearts of those claiming to bring light. #JosephConrad

What we could see was just the steamer we were on, her outlines blurred as though she had been on the point of dissolving, and a misty strip of water…The rest of the world was nowhere…swept off without leaving a whisper or a shadow behind.

Injurious wasps, to feed on such sweet honey,
And kill the bees, that yield it, with your stings!
I’ll kiss each several paper for amends.

What grabs Marlow about that battered book isn’t the info—it’s the sheer human effort behind it. In a world where everything feels hollow or absurd, he clings to any sign that meaning can still be made by someone’s deliberate work. #JosephConrad
