It’s like being in love: giving somebody the power to hurt you and trusting (or hoping) they won’t.
This is actually a scene from a series of short experimental films looking at tension in drama. On youtube you can see the whole thing here - the longer they hold it, the more tense the audience becomes.
“To be or not to be. That’s not really a question.” — Jean-Luc Godard
Good times on Uist
Macbeth company performing tonight: proper ceilidh in lochmaddy market. Fish auction is up next.
The production is set around Macbeth's banqueting table and audience are invited to seat themselves around the table and witness the story from a different perspective. Bringing the audience closer to the action gives them a sense of complicity in Macbeth's actions and creates an intimacy between performer and audience. An invitation to dine with Macbeth Members of the audience will be encouraged to sit at the central table and in long rows on either side of the table. Places at the table will be reserved for the characters played by the cast. Audiences are invited to dine with Macbeth, sitting representing various barons, thanes and lords. The audience will be surrounded by elements of design and spectacle which include the ‘dagger’ chandelier. In the interval, the audience will be served with whisky and shortbread as part of Macbeth’s lavish banquet.
This is a concept video that was an inspiration to Patti and Marcus, the use of imagery and the technical production elements make this a striking visual. The exactness in the co-ordination between performer and the technical elements have inspired our approach to lighting the performance.
We're coming towards the end of a busy week of rehearsals, Marcus has been to London and back, we've had our costume call (Catherine has done an amazing job), the script is being fine tuned and everyone is having fun. Simon (stage manager) has been interviewing the cast and we'll post videos soon so you can keep up to date with our progress.

1:4 - King Duncan
Rehearsals 4 - Mid-week of the second week
We're hurtling on with Macbeth now going at full pelt! All scenes are staged and most gone over in detail, we've had a lot of fun staging the banquet, the witches and the murders. This play brings out our evil side. Today featured a wonderful costume session where the cast were dressed in their attire! Very sleek and sexy courtesy of Catherine Deverell our costume mistress from Inverness. On to tomorrow, where we're going to run the whole things. Rehearsal photos and costume to follow soon!

#macbethpw : Today featured a read-through of the whole play where we are still making tweaks to the cut, adding bits (and characters!) back in and taking bits away. We staged the banquet scene, and began working on the rest of the play.

#macbethpw off to a great start in rehearsals: we've got a really cracking cast. Very exciting stuff. Rehearsal shots, courtesy of controversialglassartist Patricia Niemann, up soon! Much better than our IT skills as it has managed to take us 30 mins to post this post.
...the bell invites me. Hear it not, Duncan, for it is a knell That summons thee to heaven or to hell.
Controversial glass-artist Patricia Niemann has created the concept for our production. Here's a close up of one of her creations.
