Five-time Tony nominee Jan Maxwell: “The kinds of roles I was being offered were just – I’d been there and done that, and I just didn’t want to do that anymore. … I’m 58 years old, and it’s a lot of work and a lot of responsibility. It’s eight shows a week, and I’ve been disappointed in the kind of theater that you can make a living doing.”
“The reflection in the mirror shows a wiry body tightly tensed, with a tattooed chest and hair tied up in two afro bunches. He lifts his shoulder and starts to twist it almost out of its socket, muscles knobbling and bulging, until it looks like something extraterrestrial.”

“Customers were asked to book tickets in advance – so we still captured their data – but they did not pay until after the show. There was no obligation to pay anything, entirely removing their financial risk. … Six months on, I’m pleased to say it has been a huge success, with some startling results.”
“In January this year, the ministry of culture announced an international competition to find energetic new manager-directors for 20 of the country’s most important state museums … For the first time ever, foreign candidates have been invited to apply, and fluency in business management, rather than Italian, is the main requirement.”
Sorry, Dustin Hoffman. “The glossy hermeticism and theatrical realism of many older, ostensibly classic movies have dated terribly and reflect the very exclusions and compromises of the system that produced them.”
Another aging American movie star disses his younger compatriots: “In Britain they take their training seriously while in the States we’re going through a sort of social media image conscious thing rather than formal training. … With the Aussies, particularly with the males it’s the masculinity.
