For this production of the Scottish play we worked over the summer in a devising method of developing imagery and Anjalee worked with an actor to create some of the movement and character work. Our main spine for this production was to tell a frightening story of evil. We developed a Hecuba out of baby doll parts. We created backward witch masks to give the sense of misstated limbs. We were very lucky with several aspects of this production. We had some nice stock of some tunics, gowns, and capes. a beautiful green dress and gold dress for Lady M from a previous production fit our current Lady M like a glove. I rented some incredible movie-quality armor from a source that cannot be named. And then we got a huge donation of extremely high quality fake fur just when we needed it. All of these elements really enhanced our production and allowed me to spend more time making an incredible yards long red silk gown for Lady M.
