Revealing myself...

I said to my coworker Jennifer just now, "Somewhere deeply hidden within me I have a love of chaos."

She laughed louldy. "Maybe not so deeply hidden."

Uh-oh. How is it that all my friends know all my secrets? I want to be mysterious.

I guess it's a challenge.

The Drawer Boy...

Yesterday I went with Beulah to see The Drawer Boy by Michael Healey, the play currently running at the theatre where I work.

It was very good - one of those things where a light and potentially funny situation turns dark as more and more is revealed about the characters. A young actor (in the early 1970s) comes to stay with two middle-aged farmers, to do research for a play about farming. Learning about their past, he weaves their experiences into his drama, but that in turn sparks dangerous changes in their lives.

Good performances, though if I'd have been the director I would have staged it a little differently. I particularly liked the

At several points it struck me as very Canadian - the tone of the play, the themes involved, the low-key approach to both the comedy and the tragedy. All very effective, but how would it play in another country? I don't know.
