Diary entry for a Shakespearian actor Shakespeare - Romeo and Juliet

12th July <Tab/>I got up at 7.30 this morning, which is earlier than I usually do. Last nights play finished early because of an accidental fire and I got to go to bed early. It was a nice day to perform a play. The sun was out but there was a nice layer of clouds to just cool the air. It was a Friday today and I had been doing plays …

…entrances and many other things. The prompter was especially useful because of the fact that the actors didn't have a rehearsal before the play. <Tab/>The play today went very well apart from me falling over one of the props and we got a very good reception from the crowd. After the play I was very tired having had an exhausting day and I had dinner and went straight to bed.
