The Weird Sisters- RIFT at the British Museum

Following the sell-out overnight run of Shakespeare’s Macbeth during the summer of 2014, RIFT explore Shakespeare’s most interpretable and intriguing characters – the weird sisters.

I acted as Assistant Producer to a production that took place in the gallery of the Witches and Wicked Bodies exhibition in the British Museum and also at Rich Mix. Using extracts of text from Macbeth and also some new writing from Thomas McMullan (Macbeth), the 3 Witches interacted with the paintings and artwork displayed in the exhibition, recounting fictional stories of the images and other objects. We also used 15 audience plants to interact with the audience and support the atmosphere of the piece, creating soundscapes with their bodies to add another layer to the performance.
