Hi Gdansk people,

Thank you Gian for booking the flights, its so exciting!!! Zoe as you have far to come you could stay at mind the night before we go, Emma too, or we could crash at yours??!! I've up loaded some images I found which Gian mentioned in his last post for me to look at!

Here is Ophelia

The classic iconic image of Zepherelli's lovers!

This is Juliet from Zepherelli's version, I love the Virgin Mary look of this one, her dress is beautiful.

Love to you all Jo xx

firstly Gudrun......'some bloke'!! how very very dare youuuuu!! :-p

secondly, Gian i'm on to it for the chain mail, i think i will be able to get hold of metal chainmail as Rachel said she knows of someone that has it.

Hi everyone and welcome Ewe. I've just got back from visiting my family. Flights are booked so we will be flying from Luton on Thursday 30th July by Wizz Air flight 310. We will need to be at Luton for about 6.00am. Can you start to cost up transfers. Get in groups and organise taxis. See if Sim can jump in with you. Two cabs should do it I guess. We'll need receipts so that I can claim the money back. We touch down at 11.25.

Ewe, did you manage to get the measurements of the windows in the large hall at the factory?

I'm still working on the scenes and structure so more stuff will start to come through.

I'm also working on costume.

Kevin, I actually like the idea of you starting off watching R and J kind of dressed as Leonardo in the chain mail. It doesn't need to be 'serious', but could be plastic kids chain mail, something like that. So, do some research and get some prices/ideas. Underneath this the open white shirt look). Zoe, can you look into dressing like Ophelia from Jan Klata's 'H' - the jpeg I sent you? I have more if they would help. Gudrun and Mike, like Macbeth and Lady M from the Judi Dench Macbeth. Emma - an Emma Thompson Much Ado look. Jo - a kind of mixture/combination of Ophelia in Brannagh's Hamlet and the Juliet look in Zeffereli's R and J. Rachel, I'm still thinking on this...but if you have any ideas/thoughts/preferences.

If you could coordinate with Gudrun, and we do have a budget of course. If we need to spend a few quid, that's fine. It needs to look good. Just keep me informed re prices.

Mike, can you get the software that Gudrun has to download You Tube material to your iphone. I'm still not sure what actually projects. Can Gudrun and Mike download some stuff that I shall email you the links for. if we are able to project this without wifi (as I do not think we will pick up in the factory).

Well, that's it for now as I shall retire to my Xbox for a couple of hours. I'll try and send some secret mission stuff off over the weekend.

To those of you who might have folks wanting to come over, I asked Joanna if she knows of any cheapish centrally located hotels, but she is very busy. I'm not sure if Ewe knows of anywhere.

much love!
