“I built it. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up.” Is this a quote from Monty Python? Or the Richmond Theatre and The Old Globe. Either way, fire, arson, and stages being destroyed multiple times is the theme of this episode. #nevergiveup #butmaybeyoushould...
