so great to hear this interview with judith davies, thank you so much for it. i worked with and for judith in the earliest heady days, as a theatre artist working with dancers . . . long story. if you are speaking with her, give her my best, she is the best, a true pioneer in the arts, and who has a greater tolerance for the city of ottawa than i. i bow deeply before her.
regards,
