Myths and Symbols
“Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand dollars per annum is what you should earn, at least at the start. We will pay for the setup, finance the business, it will be your show, but we will be the foundations if you need it.

“It’s Beginning to Look…”
Yesterday, at 5pm, my mother’s cousin died aged ninety-one. With only three days to Christmas, it is a reminder that no matter how much we like to imagine, we only have so many celebrations and family gatherings allotted to us. Let us remember to make it a good one.

“Best Supporting Actress”
It is essential to understand where we are in the current comedy of life and play our part. Whether that be the leader, a star, a walk-on part or a supporting actor or actress. We may also be asked to play supporting roles driven by needs and the world’s circumstances, the people around us or those we love.
