@speronistudios The spoken closing monologue - especially the last line "lost in meaning" some 50 years later seems, sadly, more relevant than ever unfortunately. What a legacy your Dad created 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌❤️

@kathryn_kirton What a fascinating insight - inspired by Brecht! It's a sublime moment in the show. Was it at the end of the Royal Court Tribute show where Richard sang that last verse? Beautiful and poignant - such a contrast to hearing the narrator speak the lines.

@aussie_80s_em I love seeing these posts. Thankyou for sharing all these snippets of your father’s journey and his talents! ❤️ I remember signing my “yearbook” albeit in 1999 🤣 with “don’t dream it - be it”. Some powerful words just there.
