In my first professional gig, I was fortunate to work at the Stratford Festival in the extraordinary company assembled by artistic director John Neville during his tenure, 1986-89. As a young actor, I enjoyed the windfall of being on stage with some of the most accomplished actors of the generation. Many of them—Goldie Semple, Susan Wright, Nicholas Pennell, Peter Donaldson, Richard March—left us far too soon, but they each made an impact on me that has endured. Goldie’s generosity, Susan’s ferocity, Nicky’s precision, Peter’s wisdom, and Richard’s wit are all part of an aspirational roadmap that would serve any traveler.
