Thank you, all of you, for making this Director's Circle as enjoyable as the previous ones. We truly loved it. It is always so interesting for us, who know next-to-nothing about theatre, to see behind-the-scenes and the earlier rehearsal this time was a revelation. Meeting some of the cast last week was a real pleasure because at the end of a long day they bothered spending time with the old folks who can have no influence on their future careers; there was nothing in it for them, and we are so thankful to have been the beneficiaries of such kindness and professionalism. Congratulations to you, Joanna and all involved for another triumph. Two wonderful productions, in every sense, with such a talented cast
