Nevertheless She Persisted - For Allan Morgan - My Prospero

Rosemary Brown |
The events in our neighbour to the South break my heart but
I have resolved not to rant or complain particularly in social media. Such is
the volume of the rants and concerns by my Facebook friends that my friend John
Lekich refuses to read anything about them stating that it makes him forget
that he is a Canadian and that he is living in Canada. Social media blurs those
borders.
I was particularly moved by my friend Allan Morgan whom I
call my Prospero (a role he played so well) who posted a photograph of
Rosemary Brown with the rallying cry (about Senator Elizabeth Warren made to
shut up by the McConnel) that is barely two days old, “nevertheless she
persisted”
Here is my photograph of Rosemary Brown which I took
sometime in the 80s in a series for Women of Distinction.
Sarah Rodgers & Allan Morgan |
The other photograph, one of my faves ever (a Polaroid
peel scan), is of Allan Morgan and Sarah Rodgers in their roles in Angels in
America.
The pathos in their faces is heart wrenching. I reused the photograph for this blog about Allan Morgan's role as Prospero in Bard on the Beach's The Tempest.
