This was one of the more high profile tours I was involved in. With an extensive tour of England and Ireland , followed by a run at the Battersea Arts Centre and a short trip to Chile for an international Festival, it created a stir!

 

The witches were removed from the text completely, which gave the production pace at the expense of clarity. Cast members created percussive sounds from the side of the stage which sometimes distracted rather than focused the drama.

 

However it was an innovative production which created some debate. I was pleased with my performance as Malcolm and particularly enjoyed Ireland and our trip to South America .

 

With such an extensive tour I am surprised that I have no programmes or photographs apart from the one of Alistair Cording, who played a brooding Macbeth.

 

Red shift continues to create theatre under the direction of Jonathan Holloway.
