Equivocation
I have been at this for a week and it has already transcended almost any professional experience I’ve ever had. For a lot of reason, both professional and personal. This is a culmination for me. A whole long series of events and people and ideas and themes coming together in one rehearsal room in Westwood where I get to go everyday and do the kind of work I always dreamed I would be able to do. I don’t want to say much about the play or the world because I really and truly just want everyone and anyone to come see this. Pride has never been an easy thing for me to wrap my head around due to its proximity to ego and, then inevitably, shame. But I am proud of this play, even now, in my bare feet, writing to you from the lobby, having only built the bones of one act, I am proud of this play. I am proud of the the long line of things that got me here. I am proud of the group of people who are already working their hearts and souls into this thing. I am proud that Bill Cain is seeing this play find audiences in oregon, here and then new york. I am proud that I am only 95% terrified of being shirtless for most of the play. I am proud that my grandmother will get to see me on stage. And I am proud that I’m being called back into rehearsal, barefoot and smiling . . . .

I’m so looking forward to this ….
Hi Patrick,
I attended a performance last week and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was blown away by the story, the acting, the staging. My companions and I couldn’t stop raving about it afterward. Well done to you, to your fellow superb cast members, to Mr. Cain and to the rest of the crew!
Sincerely…
Thanks so much for making it out. This week of previews meant the world to the show and helped us all so much in figuring out what works and what doesn’t. really appreciate the support and the kind words.
Hi Patrick,
We attended last Sunday’s performance and although the play itself is difficult to follow and to relate to I was beyond impressed with the caliber of the actors – most especially you. I recognize you from other things I have seen you in but you were absolutely superb in this play. The subtleties of your facial expressions and gestures were what I noticed as well as your fine acting skills. You made the experience so much more enjoyable for me. I was one of those who gave you a standing ovation!
Best regards and good luck, Emilie
I saw Equivocation the other night and was blown away. Probably the best show I’ve seen at the Geffen. You gave an amazing performance.
you should be proud, of the play, being part of it and your work in it. i’m just glad i went to theater school so I could understand most/some of it.
Definitely the best written and best acted play we have seen in a long time. I will long remember you as James I commenting on your performance as MacDuff. As you said, you were brilliant!
I attended a performance on November 19th – all the way from the UK. I thought it waw an amazing play and all the cast were superb. Your James 1 was a tour de force, but also Tom Wintour. How extraordinarily moving the play was – I couldn’t stop thinking about it for days as there were so many threads. Connor and Harry were also incredible. Many congratulations !
