Congratulations to Tony Simotes.
Many an Emerson College graduate from my era felt keenly affected by the comings and goings at Shakespeare & Company in Lenox, MA. Tony worked at Emerson briefly and directed me in The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui (I was Givola) and Richard III. Two of the best experiences I had in college. He's a dynamic character, a kick ass fight director, and basically took no bullshit from us. Loved it.
For those inclined to know such things, in Richard III, Matthew Trumbull and I played the murderers, and we had the pleasure of killing one David DelGrosso, playing Clarence.
That's fantastic! Go get 'em, Tony.
