On the green chain walk in South East London there is an 'inclosure' of deer – they look like they are white hart and roe deer.

The pressure is building a bit now. We have about eight days on each play now before we go to Stratford.

I am off to India this week to research for Much Ado About Nothing. I have never been and am excited and nervous to be designing the show for the Courtyard Theatre in July. The plan, led by Iqbal Khan as director, is to create a production that comes out of India now, perhaps with a Punjabi feel, not a romanticised India of the past.

So having said I wouldn't video in the church, I could not resist all these sheep – the image is so strong in the text as well as being a bit strange to our ears – the comparison of teeth to sheep! We will, I am sure, find a reason why that is so.

It is official. We have rehearsed. We have previewed. We have flagellated. Heresy of Love is in the building! In deepest, darkest Mexico the story of Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz has strutted onto the Swan stage; set against a backdrop of luxury and a heartrending oil painting of Jesus, the space is bathed in dolour and sumptuousness.

In rehearsals for The Tempest the cast was split into two groups: the Europeans and the Islanders. We were then asked to come up with a list of words we associated with our group.

A trip to Stratford before we go to India to show Iqbal and Kieran, the lighting designer, around The Courtyard. It is the first time they have seen the space, which to me is a much loved friend. Strange to find it sitting there waiting.

Simply put, this is about time. This man, Richard Streatfielde Greene, died in 1601. There is the use of language – English and not Latin in a church. The time is coming.
