In law, nothing is certain but the expense.
It's incredible how London-centric the theatre world is. Certain actors won't travel away from London anymore for work; practitioners often aren't taken seriously enough unless their work is seen in London; and it's sometimes very difficult to get national critics to review shows - especially if there's a clash with a London press night.
Americans are willing to go to enormous trouble and expense defending their principles with arms, very little trouble and expense advocating them with words.

When you say you are certain, you simply declare your death, you have committed suicide.
