What if the "self" you think you know is just another part you're playing? Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with Don, who draws from his rich theater background to challenge the notion of a fixed personal identity. Through the lens of his experience playing a demanding character in Simon Gray's "Butley," Don reveals the transformative power of losing oneself in a role and the profound realizations it brought him about the fluidity of self.

In this captivating episode, Don shares how embodying a character led him to question societal expectations and the rigid identities we often impose on ourselves. He offers compelling insights on how our relationships and cultural norms keep us tethered to a static idea of who we are, making personal growth a daunting task. Reflecting on the practical and legal reasons for maintaining a consistent identity, Don invites listeners to explore the balance between societal demands and the freedom to reinvent oneself. Don't miss this engaging discussion that bridges the worlds of theater and psychology, offering a fresh perspective on the roles we play every day.
