in association with Workman Arts presents:
Mask and Madness in Macbeth
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Michael Kelly
Mask Direction by Sonia Norris
Mask and Madness in Macbeth grew out of a series of workshops conducted by Shakespeare in Action’s Artistic Director Michael Kelly with members from Workman Arts. He found that the participants' insights on the language and poetic imagery ranged from insightful, unusual and remarkable, to chaotically disordered. Fascinated by this event he was eager to work with those afflicted by mental illness to explore the idea of madness in Macbeth. Michael Kelly worked with a group of talented artists to create a specialized script for the play – one that is sparse of rhetoric but essential to clearly conveying the linear storyline and plot, while leaving room to focus on the physical and visual worlds of theatre to deliver the story.
