After thirty-five years as a working actor (all media) we upped and settled in Hungary where we live outside a village in western Hungary. I tend the large garden and the vines in it. We have been here now for twelve years. Main literary influences from a lifetime of obsessive reading. Albert Camus, Roger Martin du Gard, Robert Graves, John Wilmot, Second Earl of Rochester, and, unavoidably, Shakespeare, who is no influence, but simply the purest joy of the spoken Word.view less
