MACBETH
set & costume Design
Volcano Theatre Company, Swansea
Touring production, England and Wales
Writer: William Shakespeare
Director: Paul Davies
"Tina’s Torbey’s set design is stark, minimalist and multi-functional." British Theatre Guide
"The set is pleasingly bare, with sheets hanging from the ceiling over a bed and use of a screen on which to project images. This same scene is used to project a silhouette of Banquo’s ghost, but it is how they create this dinner scene which is particularly original." WALES ARTS REVIEW
"Designer Tina Torbey’s set was oddly symbolic and powerful. It’s simplicity and stark whiteness were at odds with the dark forces at work." ODD SANDALS
"The soundscape and lighting design (Ben Stimpson) add to the manic nature of the world that is presented. This, along with the set (Tina Torbey), are used in symbiosis with the physical action of the actors making for the fast pace nature of the show. This provides a wonderful backdrop for the dark undertones of violence and sexuality to play out." ASIW
