We pulled a couple of strings and got my good friend Matthew Bissett a profile in the Vancouver Province (decaying link?):
When you were eight, what did you want to be?
“I can’t remember a time I wasn’t on stage or writing little plays. I performed ‘To be or not to be’ at a Grade 6 assembly, wearing a puffy shirt and holding a kitchen knife, and never looked back.”
I believe that should be ‘poofy’, but I’m hardly an expert. I retired my last poofy shirt years ago. Matthew’s got two shows coming up. He’s directing Burnaby Lyric Opera’s The Merry Widow and he stars in his own play Money, produced by Construction Ink.
The photo accompanying the article is a little amusing. Judging by the back page, Matthew appears to be holding the script sideways. And who are all those women and children behind him?
