Here's me on Mother's Day as Lady Mac in a snippet of Macbeth. It's a sampling of an upcoming production (that I may or may not be in) by Rapid Descent. RD is the offspring of Megan Finlay, a sharp, foxy director who hails from Sidney, Australia, England and the States. I met Megan in a contact improv workshop and enjoyed her "mixed tape" at our closing contact jam.
Lady Mac was very new territory for me, my first stab at Shakespeare. Bear in mind this excerpt is in the early stages of development. Still, I wish we had played more with my character and Mac and Lady's relationship--Lady M looks (and felt) a bit stilted to me. But there are some charged moments, especially between Macbeth and the ghost of Banquo.
This is the banquet scene. Mac has just learned that his orders to kill Banquo have been carried out. During the banquet Mac first encounters his ghost.
