Turianus

originally posted November 26, 2006

I may have found my Agamedes last evening. A fellow called Turianus wandered into the Great Theater last evening late, after others reading for the part were long since departed. I know of him, of course. Before the occupation, he acted upon the minor stages of Torcadino and surrounding villages and towns within the realm of Ar. According to popular gossip, it is said that he traveled south, bolstering his reputation in the cities along the Silk Road to Kasra, finally traveling west to Turia. It was there that Quintus of Torcadino became Quintus Turianus, or simply, 'Turianus' as he is known in the southern cities. As the gossip tells, he was given the honorific title for his performances on the Turian stages by the Administrator of that city himself.
His reading of Agamedes was quite competent. I felt he understood, to a great extent, what I am trying to convey in the character. I would like to see him beside Phineahas, trading lines rather than orating, but it is my feeling I have found the right actor to fill the sandals once worn by Locutius and Nikos of Tyros. High praise for a thespian, assuredly.
