Consider donating to the gofundme of our friend Christine Starkey - a good human and one of the most gifted actors we've had the pleasure of working with. She's facing that thing most of us (if we're lucky) won't have to deal with for a long time. A bit of compassion will go a long way.

We at Cunning Folk salute Christine's kindness, talent and her voracious spirit for life.
