Been relaxing a bit after Macbeth, missing doing it and still find myself saying lines every now again. It always takes time to come down from working up to a performance like that, slow the adrenalin and deal with the reality of “life after”!
However I am lucky with great friends and this last week as been varied and entertaining. I spent a long weekend in Suffolk with my closest friend Jenni at her house there, what a beautiful county it is with historic towns and buildings, some dating back to the 16th century and a visit to the seaside, Southwold, cold but lovely in the winter sunshine. The visit also involved wonderful log fires, crossword puzzles and great food, in and out!

Her partner Jason Mcdonald owns a Company Argon which does and has

Jason is talented and successful. And he just re-enforces my view that those of us who love film and are really passionate about it and focused on the actual work, are the best and often the most modest about their work and certainly those people I want only to work with!

Thanks Anthony. Loved doing Shakespeare here in the UK. Back to the US Wednesday….thanks for writing.
It’s always delightful to hear how you are doing, and “what” you are doing.
Your commitment and your dedication to your Profession is admirable.
