I couldn't possibly comment

"Actor Ian Richardson, best known for his role as scheming chief whip Francis Urquhart in the BBC's House of Cards, has died suddenly at the age of 72. . . .He is survived by his wife, Maroussia, and two sons" (BBC News)

One of those sons is Miles Richardson - also an actor, currently in the RSC's history cycle and a good acquaintance of mine. . . . (he's in a few of the pictures on this blog) . . .

In true thespian spirit - Miles will still be performing tonight and tomorrow - the show must go on etc etc

My heart hurts . . . .
