Traces

The very nice man (known as "4mul8" on Flickr) — who took a photo of Will performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival (which I stumbled across by pure accident on Flickr) has since posted four more lovely photos of Will and/or his co-performers. He sent me an email to let me know this, and also to say that he and his wife thought the show, "Traces," was "amazing." (He also mentioned that before moving to Edinburgh, he and his wife lived in the Bay Area and are now on the verge of returning; isn't it a small world?)

In this photo you can see Will's hunky back, upon which a game of tic-tac-toe is being played.

Oh, and here's the latest email from Will, which I got yesterday:

The festival is going great. We are a huge hit. We have been sold out every night, 600 seats, for two weeks now. Just 3 more shows to do! Nassib is here, and he is getting more offers from producers than he can handle.

Val [Will's sweetie, who is currently studying at L'Ecole Nationale du Cirque, from which Will graduated two years ago] came for 12 days, and we had a great time. She left yesterday to go back to school.. .boring. I am seeing at least one show a day. There is so much to see... dance, theater, music, stand up, street shows, hypnotists, and weird stuff you have to see to believe, some good, some just weird. The month went by really fast and it looks like I will be back in Montreal on the 28th. Talk to you soon.
Love you mom.
Will

Yes, the small world..how great that through flickr you've made this contact. Speaking of that, ask Will if he met an actress Sheridan Johnson who was in the Mamet play, Oleanna, at the festival. She's my boss's
daughter who's majoring in theater in Scotland.

What a beautiful and exciting letter from Will. Just think what the show must be like now after they've had so much time to perfect it. This is so very cool.

Astounding photos and I love the contact through Flickr®.
Small world, big mother pride.

Great story of the flickr photo. I had one of those with my son Zac after he told me he was out helping neighbors in the aftermath of a tornado. I looked up photos of the tornado on Flickr and there was Zac!

I'm glad to hear Will's troupe is so popular and that he's succeeding as a world famous circus phenom!
