WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID ABOUT MACBETH:

Lowther Hall Anglican Girls’ Grammar.

“Excellent.  We found the whole concept and delivery fascinating. Such an inventive approach. The voices were superbly varied.” Kilvington Baptist Girls’ Grammar School.

“The production was visually appealing for Year 10 boys.  The porter and the witches were a big hit!   It was a great performance.”

Simonds Catholic College.

“It was a wonderfully inspiring piece.  Visually exciting; not to mention an all round feast of light and sound.  The puppets were excellent – amazing how they came to life! The performer beautifully captured the essence of the characters.  I thought it was a superb performance.”

Mitchell College, Wodonga.

“An impressive presentation.  Kids were engaged especially by all the different facets – puppets, setting, lighting, dialogue, and by the fact that there was one person doing everything. It was a great insight into dramatic performance. We were amazed at the versatility shown.  The use of voice – accents, singing, movement was impressive.”
