"The Way of the World", poster for Soulpepper Theatre
JULY 20, 2008

Acrylic and oil based ink on bark paper, 15" x 15"
"William Congreve's Restoration masterpiece is one of the wittiest, sauciest, and most loved of English language comedies. Peopled with a wonderful variety of characters, the play is particularly distinguished in its creation of the unforgettably assertive women. A rare commodity: a very sexy, very smart and very funny play."

DETAIL

These are some of the sketches and notes drawn around the manuscript I was given. The image came to me fairly quickly as I read some of the text.

This painting was used as the cover for Soulpepper's 10th anniversary season catalogue.

Final poster, 18" x 24", offset litho.
