Thank you, Doc, for your message. This is heartbreaking news. James was a beautiful human being, full of gentleness, wit, smarts and guts. I have been thinking of Laurel...what an amazing partner and support she has been to him. And I have been thinking of the many many students whose lives he touched. James is beloved. It is a terrible loss. I will miss him so.

Much love to all,

Madge

After a lengthy and bold struggle with pancreatic cancer, James has passed away.  We have lost a brilliant colleague, scholar, actor, director, student, and kind friend.  He loved Shakespeare, teaching, and all of his students. And he loved the barn at Winedale.  This is a very sad time.  Please keep Laurel in your thoughts and prayers.

Peace and love to every one of you.

Love,

Doc
