![]() ![]() In my time I have been a famous actor, playwright and theatre director, but now I am in my 60s I tire of the egotism of the stage and have left London to live alone in Shruff End, a remote dwelling perched on the edge of land, o'erlooking the sea, the sea, that sometime had the still calm of mill-ponds past and at others crashed tumultuously in frothy whirlpools of anguished darkness. Perhaps I should make myself known as I make myself a ploughman's lunch, ploughman's lunch. Melodrama and opportunist symbolism have been my trade for so long, it is hard to loosen their bonds. Today I have been swimming naked in the blessed Northern sea, the sea, diving from the cliff into the gentle waves, my body growing scales like a merman as I sported like a dolphin, before easing myself out of the mysterious deep, my fingers clawing at the rocks for purchase. ![]()
