How do you lighting. How do you sound.

Sleep No More
Design by Felix Barrett, Livi Vaughan and Beatrice Minns
If you do not know about Sleep No More, I suggest you research it! It’s a very innovative way to stage Shakespeare’s Macbeth. There’s over 100 rooms with antique set dressings and props. The production is currently in New York City and has an open-ended run.

GAHI’MSORRYBUTMYDIRECTORISEVIL!!
I never post here anymore… I should spend more time here. But I’m always terribly busy with some random job that someone in town is throwing at me, and then I get the daily bull from my high school director (Please, god, someone remind why I thought taking stagecraft was a remotely good idea), because she seems to think I’m an incapable dumbfuck (Yes, bitch, that’s why i do theatre at the...
