Can I just say again how much I love my internship? Yesterday we started the day with a meeting, or we thought the meeting was yesterday, the guy we were meeting with thought it was Monday, so as it was we just had coffee and talked over budgets. I spent the rest of the morning and early afternoon installing the new version of Norton (stupid program) and typing up contact lists.
At 3:30 we caught a tube to the Globe for a production meeting. On the way there Greg gave me the history of the reconstruction of the theatre- done mostly through the sheer tenacity of the american actor Sam Wannamaker. We got there and he gave me a tour of the theatre.
I got to walk on the stage.
After the production meeting, which got really exciting when Greg started making the hard deals, some one pulled out champagne. When asked why, the answer was "Friday". So I had a couple glasses of the bubbly and then my eight hour day was over. Fantastic.

I LOVE the Globe. Love the space, love the productions I've seen there- I'm jealous!
Jenna, dear - I'm enjoying your blog immensely. Fourteen shows in two weeks, even with some bad ones, a castle, the Globe, and Stonehenge - that's really remarkable.
And, your writing is delightful, of course.
Ciao.

I missed the globe (for many reaseons) while in London and desperately wanted to actually go.
Actually walking on stage-wow!
Sounds like you are attacking with intensity. I'd like to hear some of the names of the plays you have seen.
Forgot to add you will find the Brits drink a lot!
