PAD Part 5

I've spent the last two weeks in Vila, and while that means better internet, it also means I have less reason to spend time on it. Between trainings, hanging out with people, and getting scuba certified, I've been spending most of my time unplugged.

Here are my daily photos for the last few weeks!

Globe to Globe

I just got back from seeing a production of Hamlet. Put on by actors from the Globe theatre. In Vanuatu. What???

The Globe theater has this program called Globe to Globe Hamlet (http://globetoglobe.shakespearesglobe.com/), that, over the course of two years, is performing Hamlet in every country in the world. Every single one. Vanuatu was their 110^th country, in the course of about 13 months.

Cole, Avery and I were finishing our dive certification this morning, and we got to talking with one of the other guys on the dive with us. Turns out he is touring with them, and plays Hamlet. While he wasn’t performing tonight, he gave us the details of the show, and even made sure that we could get tickets.
I very much felt transported away from Vanuatu (except for the kava joke), and felt reminiscent of being at the Shakespeare festival in Ashland. I definitely never expected to watch Hamlet in Vanuatu, much less as performed by actors from the Globe! Man, I love this job.
