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!

RE: Wyrd Sisters - Will?!

Congratulations, Dean,
You are one of the few peope who actually figured out that Hwell was meant to be a takeoff of William Shakespeare! We considered several different costume ideas and then decided to dress him as Will! I didn't have a clue how to dress him until I saw a picture of the old boy, at the Marloo Theatre (on a poster), so decided to put him in brocade, and of course, Simon insisted on a frill! (no, not thrill!).
I think it very difficult in this play to pick out one particular performer from the others, because everyone, including small roles were so into character, and giving 100%
The three witches however, and the jester, were, for me the linchpins of the show!
