to my actor pal   Knitting dreams and acting up a style, enlightenment is just a scene away but verging on denouement takes a while of instances to savor, roles to play, and nuances to shade just so, just so. . . . Casting free and letting go of every attitude that's not the part, not Kevin, valences unfold themselves and grow and blossom there on stage. Communication needs communion, not a star to show the audience how to shine; their finest ovation's a hand in directing the final act of creation.     © Michael Fleming Oxford, England March 1983
