A Handy Props Lesson
Today, when browsing through my e-mail, I found a helpful post on making a severed hand for William Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus. In his blog post, Eric Hart goes over steps in creating a realistic hand prop using alginate, plaster, brush-on molds and silicone rubber.
He goes through the process step-by-step in creating this hand. I found it extremely interesting and very helpful, hopefully you can use it for a show! I really want to make a severed hand one day!

Oh, tis Banquo…
what weird and interesting staging to have Maccers all the way downstage, back to the audience for this scene. I would have loved to have seen it.

Home Sweet Home!
Some early designs for the set of Macbeth, courtesy of our phenomenal designer Simon Jarvis.
Simon hauled himself back up north for Mooted once again, having previously designed, alongside Cath Doman, the incredible set for our outdoor production of The Taming of The Shrew.
And if anybody remembers the moment the magical cricket screen turned into a steam train - it was simply wonderful!
Huge mention must also go to our resident inventor and set contruction wizard Howard Atkin - who alongside actually making everything work - is also playing a murderer and the English warrior Siward.
