Summer Play Festival
Interns Blog

So we’re exactly in the middle of our run; four shows behind us, four shows ahead of us. I am On Deck, making sure all’s well backstage, but it’s a pretty low maintenance show so I get to watch it every night! Susannah, the other intern on Flutter, is on sound, so we certainly feel part of the team
I never thought that tech would be an interesting experience; and for the most part of the fourteen hours we were there, this was true. But in the final moment, when sound and light came together with what was happening on stage, I realised the artistic integrity of the backstage elements. They were so beautifully designed, and complemented Slyvia’s wonderful writing. It’s been an exhausting week, but a fantastic one none the less. Yesterday I attended a talk with wise Gerry Schonfeld, then I did a rehearsal for our intern cabaret, then we did a combat class, then I went to see Esther Demsack, then we did a show, and finally I went to a talk with Stephen Rae. If anyone has a spare green card lying around...?
