It was a hugely influential play for me, and the reason I thought I could have a home or place in the theatre. It really struck a chord with me. So I just think, how blessed am I? I get to do this show at this moment in time with a group of actors who are all incredibly talented powerhouses. |
So I hook up with Lorne and McNally and we spend a late night drinking and carousing. And because we just really enjoy each other's company, we're saying, 'we ought to do something together.' And up came True West. |
Two summers ago I went out to teach a directing course for Saskatchewan Theatre and David McNally was doing one on acting. Lorne Cardinal, of course, spends a lot of time in Regina where they shoot Corner Gas. |
