<div id="_htmlarea_default_style_" style="font:10pt arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Dear Conrad -hello!<div align="left">I worked on creating and
performing a devised performance of poems from Michael Ondaatje's 'The Collected Works of Billy the KId.' This was a new piece, prepared with
Ondaatje's collaboration, not the scripted adaptation that was published some years ago.</div><div align="left">The piece was conceived and directed
by Dan Jemmet, who works mainly in Europe (Comedie Francaise, Theatre Vidy, Lausanne, Teatro Della Abaddia, Madrid). It was originally produced by
Quantum Theatre and 404 Strand in Pittsburgh in 2007, and invited to Madrid's Festival de Otono in the same year. In 2013, we were invited to present
it at Peter Brook's Bouffes du Nord theatre in Paris.</div><div align="left">What sort of evidence are you seeking to gather?<br><div
