Michael replied to Jeffrey D Byrd's discussion The Scottish Play Twist"My theatre is doing The Scottish Play this season. I hate Shakespeare (I think it's boring), and this will be my second job as TD... hopefully that's not some awful omen. My distaste aside, the Director is a true connoisseur of the…"
Richelle Thompson replied to Jeffrey D Byrd's discussion The Scottish Play Twist"Logistically difficult... but a really cool idea. Perhaps put a select number of "plants" in the house with fake cell phones - instead use small wireless speakers or in-ear monitors or listening devices cranked up.

Jacob Coakley replied to Jeffrey D Byrd's discussion The Scottish Play Twist"One suggestion to all of this: I saw a show a couple year's ago where they purposefully gave out infrared hearing assistance devices to everyone who saw the show. Everyone got one. And throughout the play extra audio was piped into the audio…"
John Kimball replied to Jeffrey D Byrd's discussion The Scottish Play Twist"The syncing is a real problem.

Even though you are 20' apart those signals are bouncing off…"
Scott Bloom replied to Jeffrey D Byrd's discussion The Scottish Play Twist"There are a couple of problems with that, although it is intriguing.

Do you mean you want everyone in the audience to pick up their phones and listen to the witches deliver their lines via their…"
Jeffrey D Byrd posted a discussionThe Scottish Play Twist
I am currently working on an original production of the scottish play and I want the witches to be virtual beings and not on stage.

Jeffrey D Byrd replied to Ken Ahlberg's discussion Hay Bales and allergy concerns in the group Scenery and Props"Due to fire code regulations many props artistans build plywood boxes and cover them with bar sipp straws and drinking straws then paint them to get the needed effect. It worked on Hee Haw and see how many straw sets they had."
