• I will never be dry or warm ever again. 
• Globe to Globe is fantastic. I was charmed by Pericles (Greek), loved the energy of Troilus & Cressida (Maori) and was thoroughly entertained by Twelfth Night (Hindi).
• Travelling Light is actually better on a second viewing, but I still have issues with it. Lauren O’Neill and Damien Molony act rings around Antony Sher (which is not what should be happening in that scenario), and the text. 
• The Conquest of the South Pole is brilliant, the more I think about it the more I love it. Sam Crane climbing onto a table has never been more arousing and heartbreaking tbh. Andrew Gower is the master of meringue eating and I’ve never felt more exhilarated and devastated by people counting to 179 and almost a half. 
• All I want from the next series of Being Human is a long flashback episode with young Leo (actor’s name?) because I think Hal’s prequel is my favourite thing of all of season 4. 
• Noises Off is funny, the second act even moreso because I’ve SMed shows that have gone like that but not as funny as I think everyone else thinks it is, I’m really not a huge Farce fan I think; however Lucy Briggs-Owen is basically my favourite thing in the world at the moment 
• NT Archive is incredible, the prompt script for Stuff Happens was actually easy to follow which is comforting. I’m not SMing all wrong! 

Four day weekend thank god. I’ve very much had it with this week but mercifully there are now four days between me and the next time I have to tell an engineer how to do his job. WOOP! On Saturday I will be heading to Newcastle to see Travelling Light with Emily; and whilst it is mostly a Damien Molony pilgrimage I’m actually more excited for Emily’s first experience of a National Theatre production. I’m also very excited because I’d forgotten that Grant Olding was scoring this play. Then it’s a 4 day week next week, then I have to survive a 5 day week and then it is my birthday London week WOOHOO. Yet moreTravelling Light, mother wants to see it. Also The Conquest of the South Pole, Sam Crane! Andrew Gower! A new theatre I’ve never visited! Me trying to not get paranoid about rush hour traffic!! A visit to the National Theatre archive, Pericles in Greek and Troilus and Cressida in Maori at the Globe (basically, home) and the possibilities of Noises Off and The Duchess of Malfi. COME ON APRIL LET’S DO THIS!
