Macbeth in 90 seconds

22 days till opening

First full run tonight. Much later than I would have hoped and not in the venue. The first half held together well, the from act 3 it looked much worse.

Still haven't seen any stage blood, don't know about many of the costumes, music .... oh and we still can't get the whole cast in one place at once.

On the plus side - the edits are working, the cast is strong, my flu has nearly passed.

M and Lady M are very strong. The relationships are excellent. The cast are of a very high qaulity all round. We have a new witch which requires bringing her up to speed with the play. But it's all good.

24 days to go

We open in 24 days. That fills me with dread. We've still seen no costumes, no props and have no sound effects.
On the plus side despite another witch pulling out last week and one of the unnamed Lords having to pull out following a car accident as his leg is in plaster we have a full cast and the play is looking good.

We do have a gauze at last and I have resolved the issues around the staging. Also the lighting plan is being developed and same with special effects seem to be on track. Chanel is sorting out the music.

So provided no more problems arise we are on track.

This is almost the time when I wonder why it matters, why it's so hard and why oh why do we do this.

Opening video for show - spoiler

The video has been created to open the show. It's supposed to look like a webvideo ....

thanks to Tandem Studios for the talent and the production, to Scott Koorey for the music and to a distant cousin of William Shakespeare for the script.

Script edits

I know I'm not the person to say this - but the edits rock. If anyone anywhere is looking to do a complete production of Macbeth and wants a 65min script - I have it!
