Ring down the curtain

Prospero:
Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd tow'rs, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.



The Tempest. Act 4, Scene 1.


Peter Ryan - missed and missed and missed.

That was perfect *hugs*

I don't know how I'm going to handle the time calls on the weekend - we will continue to use his voice. I think every production should. He is an icon and should never be forgotten.

P W Ryan - thanks for everything - thanks for the friendship, the inspiration, the tea, the experiences, the props, and the support. Fondly remembered, and sorely missed.

"There's a great spirit gone"

"If Wolsey fell, the splash would swamp a few small boats like ours."
