The Sheeple in the Lion,
The Lion in the Sheeple

Last Sunday, my son Jonah and I had the honour of meeting actor Rod Beattie. He had just performed Wingfield Folly, the third in a series of one-man, satirical plays about a stockbroker who decides to become a farmer...

Even at age 74, Rod Beattie plays all the parts in the full-length play, seamlessly moving from odd-ball character to odd-ball character with distinct changes in facial and voice expressions.

I was first introduced to his work on my birthday back in April, through a video recording of the previous play in the series. Inspired, I recently made a humble, but earnest effort at mimicking Beattie's approach in a skit I performed as part of Vaccine Choice Canada's 40th Anniversary celebration. I played both myself and my double-masked and quadrupled vaxxed fictional neighbour, Roger...
 
I only had 24 hours to rehearse, which wasn't enough time to finalize and memorize the lines, so my performance was hardly as seamless as Rod Beattie's. However, I'll be performing an extended variation on this skit for a fundraiser for the People's Party of Canada later this month, so I have more time to prepare.

I was inspired to play both parts after seeing how artist Jordan Henderson purposely used himself as a model for the masked sheeple in his COVID-19 paintings...
  From a Taoist perspective, I'm sure there is a little sheeple in even the most independent freedom fighting lion. Just like there's a baby lion in even the most obedient servant of the state.

PS You can watch a recording of Vaccine Choice Canada's 40th Anniversary celebrations (including my skit) on Bitchute.

PPS And you can also watch this full-length documentary style interview I produced with Jordan Henderson, going into far more depth about how he composes his dissident paintings, on my site or directly on YouTube (for some unknown reason ChinaTube hasn't banned it yet).
