“Grief is the brutal, painstaking grounding of our stance in the world. To run from grief is to run from the thing that is most capable of opening us to the depths of life. Grief is not a state but a skill; and the twin of grief is the skill of staying present.” - David Whyte

I became a citizen a decade ago today, during a break from rehearsals at Stratford with Chris Newton + Martha Henry (both now no longer here…). Time, my goodness. Ten years. 🇨🇦

Craig & Gambon walked so Ertmanis & Beilfuss could run! A NUMBER (London, 2002 + Winnipeg, 2025). Happy Closing, team! I will miss you Victor Ertmanis. Thank you, Caryl, for writing such a beaut. Thank you Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre.

"Words…if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos…If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little or make a poem which children will speak for you when you're dead" - Tom Stoppard (The Real Thing)

Only 2 more chances to see A NUMBER at the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre. And tonight THE SNOW MUST GO ON (what a title!) premieres on the Hallmark channel. I go to wear some swell sweaters in that one.

It started to snow today and I have sad Richard Hawley on repeat.

Send. Help.
