Matilda Tone’s grave in Greenwood Cemetery #brooklyn. The fact that she was based in the USA explains partly why she heavily edited her husband’s Theobald Wolfe Tone’s writings (he was not keen on Americans) #wolfetone #irishAmerica #cemetery #graveyard #research

If you are in London before 10 May add Gary Owen's version Ibsen's 'Ghosts' to your 'must see' list. It's fantastic. Super cast, staging & direction. Everyone is great but Victoria Smurfit is outstanding! #london #lyrichammersmith #theatre
