This evening, the ACE Players (Lycia 2014 troupe), aided and abetted by Mary (Wright), performed what Andrew allowed was a heavily abridged version of Agamemnon, by Aeschylus.

The opening scene: the Palace of Agamemnon. (Night, a little before sunrise.) As it happened, the sun set and the dark rose as the drama progressed.

Even though we had an ‘official’ Programme Seller, in the shape of Marjorie, I chose – once again – to be in the audience. And was glad of it. Spending much of my working life performing on stages around the world, this would have been too much like work. But it also gave me a new sense of how tremendously moving Greek drama can be.

A remarkable evening.

Introduction

I began this blog with an entry reporting on a visit to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on Cape Cod, on 30 September 2003. The blog element of the website has gone through several iterations since, with much of the older material still available.

Like so many things in my life, blog entries blur the boundaries between the personal and the professional. As explained on this site’s Home Page, the website and the blog are part platform for ongoing projects, part autobiography, and part accountability mechanism.

In addition, my blogs have appeared on many sites such as: Chinadialogue, CSRWire, Fast Company, GreenBiz, Guardian Sustainable Business, and the Harvard Business Review.
