A major production for TwoScore Company, a small theatre group that punched above its weight in Ludlow. Macbeth allowed me to go really gory, mixing up blood images with fabulous quotes from the Bard. The heading was a three overlay-combination of the font to make the lettering appear saturated with blood. I was pleased with the blood spot over his eye. The theme I created also allowed me to play with endless variations for web headings, publicity with two-sided postcards and the programme itself. The trailer held the graphic black grey red and white theme nicely too.

I also designed and made all the costumes, using this graphic palette and harkening to heraldic symbolism with the servants of the main characters having a badge on the front of their costume signifying their allegiance. I was particularly proud of the witches' costumes which were created from a black square sheet sewn on the inside with an appliqué white tree so that when they first appeared they were shrouded in a black cloak which they then could turn inside-out and back-to-front to reappear later in the play as the menacing, moving, Birnham Wood.
