At the same time as I 'played' with what it meant to be Rachel (the experiments with clothing, make-up, voice, bodily movement) I felt like I was becoming more myself. In the midst of the creation, the theatre and the play, I was becoming a solid person rather than a set of masks.

From Rachel Mann's Dazzling Darkness her story of finding herself - I was at the book launch referred to in the link and hope to be able to post a little more of a review once the reading is complete.

He had gone into every late or early public-house where there was a light (they were not a few at that time, the road being then much frequented by drovers), and had got down to talk to the turnpike-keepers. I had heard him ordering drink, and clinking money, and making himself agreeable and merry everywhere; but whenever he took his seat upon the box again, his face resumed its watchful steady look, and he always said to the driver in the same business tone, 'Get on, my lad!'

In search of someone... I'm getting to the final straight of Dickens Bleak House!

And here's Gilels playing that movement:


I think the very start needs something less than a massive tone!
