Wyrd Sisters - It's a Must see!
Tue, 10 Apr 2001, 03:40 pmI am amazed that there hasn't already been a review on this brilliant production! It is in its final week at the Nexus Theatre, Murdoch University, starting at 8pm Wed-Sat.
Everyone that I have spoken to who has been think that this is a great show!
The set, costumes, lighting, and special effects are marvellous, and of course the acting is brilliant.
Arena Theatre is mainly a Theatre in School company, and has never attempted anything like this before.
They have selected a large cast of 18 Amateur Actors, from all over Perth, and have pulled off a most successful production.
All of the lead actors were totally in character the whole play, and the supporting cast were to be admired for their versatility in playing several different roles and changing character so completely every time.
Special mention should go to Emma Farrell who plays Magrat, and to Kingsley Judd (Fool) whose energetic performances had the audience in stitches.
Congratulations Simon, Francesca & Claire, a great job!

Thank you to Teri and Christine for your wonderful reviews. It's really exciting to get such wonderful feedback. Now that the show's down and life's returning to normal (or what passes for normality round here) we've got time to grab a breath or two and realise what a fantastic show it was.
Of course, no production happens on its own and a show of this size takes a herculean effort to stage. Special thanks have to go to Christine Ellis, costumier extraordinaire, for making all the 36 or so costumes (and never losing her temper even once); Kylie Taylor for the mammoth task of designing and painting all the backdrops; Judith and Clare for helping sew the damn things together (above and beyond the call of duty); and Simon's Dad for making the Backdrop Machines and the dungeon door.
It wouldn't be unusual for a company of this size to have had some emotional conflict but there wasn't any; no hissy fits, no tantrums, nothing but professional conduct and huge amounts of fun. It's been a privilege to work with this bunch.
Thank you all.
