I 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!

RE: Wyrd Sisters - Will?!

Oh, i'm terribly sorry old chaps.

I thought that "Will", the guy who played the playwright in the play, was in fact meant to be Will Shakespeare, or at least a reference to the ledgend.
I mean, the guy was called Will, he was dresses like Will Shakespeare is often portrayed, he spoke in ye old posh english and he was playing a playwright - i mean it's terribly confusing if he was all that and NOT Will Shakespeare!.
Or...was that the joke?. In that case..terribly sorry. Who was he then?
