After a while, tours get into a routine. We always have a tea break after we've constructed the floor and before we erect the set; Pete and I are always forced to shave and smooth our hair in the public loos just as the audience arrive; Sophia and Dan always manage to squeeze in a cigarette milliseconds before the half is called and Colin always manages to get himself trapped behind something very heavy during the loading procedure. It's rather reassuring to have these firm planks to rely on.
I wasn't expecting Karen to be so omnipresent in our out-of-county dates - it's very unusual to see so much of your director at this stage, and hugely welcome. And not just for notes and updates on how the show's going, either - the Robertsbridge ladies are well and good, but there's nothing like a Karen Simpson (and sometimes her well-muscled husband) for speeding up the get-out.
*Our default supper in rural venues!
