Things we've learned since 29 June 1613.
– Using cannons to create special effects is a no-go
– A thatched timber theatre is v. flammable
– A tiled roof may be a more sensible option for theatre 2.0
– If your breeches catch fire, they can be extinguished with a bottle of ale

Listen to every woman with you now. Listen when I say to you to take the fire as your own. That anger that you feel it is yours and you can use it. If they try to burn you, may your fire be stronger than theirs so you can burn the whole fucking house down. Don’t stop now 🔥💙
