Fiona Reid

We were entertained by new friends in Toronto last night. Fiona and her husband Mac invited us to their splendid loft apartment after last night's performance and served us a feast of garlic soup, vegetable curry and poached pears. They are longtime friends of director Richard Cottrell and actor John Turnbull, and they became mates with Simon Burke when he was here recently in THE SOUND OF MUSIC. Mac is a set builder and Fiona has a list of credits as long as your arm. Here's a sample!
