My Heroes

The play really connected with the audience.  You never know how these things will go.  Opening night was truly exhilarating, the terrific cast earning a standing O and a bunch of curtain calls.  Those four men, shown below, in costume, on Renate Pohl's brilliant set, are my heroes.

Brian Marler, Brad Hodder, Robert Joy, Aiden Flynn

Not pictured is the show's director, Charlie Tomlinson, the mastermind behind this gang.  He was part of the development process of this play from the beginning, two and half years ago.  The best clarets from my cellar are his just reward.
Here is an interview I did on CBC the morning after.  The man asking the questions is another champion, Mack Furlong, with whom I worked on The Great Eastern

Addendum:  The Men received that standing ovation every night of the sold out run.  They're good.
