NormanH Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 The new Avatar is me...[8-|]I was playing Eugene Marchbanks in Shaw's Candida a few years back (a good few years back in fact...)The reading lamp is onthe mantelshelf above Marchbanks, who is sitting on the small chairreading aloud from a manuscript. A little pile of manuscripts and acouple of volumes of poetry are on the carpet beside him. Candida is inthe easy chair It's only half because I cut out the other person as I have no way of asking her if she minded being shown.[IMG]http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh80/bfb_album/25-09-2012071457-Copy.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybanana Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Rakish is a hot sauce which is used in Japan to embellish squid dishes! Now, Norman as to that photo, a little truth please; as I heard it, the lady insisted on you removing her from the foto after he discovered your Oscar Wilde side and she did not know where to put herself!
