by William Shakespeare
The Watermill Theatre, followed by Wilton’s Music Hall and UK Tour
Director: Paul Hart
Lighting Designer: Tom White
Projection Designer: Louise Rhoades - Brown
Photographer: Pamela Raith
Katie Lias' terrific design (with proceedings taking place in a burnt out husk of a stage) is marked by an adaptability that allows the intimate space to be transformed into various locales with minimal effort
- Daily Info Oxford
Drawing on Jazz Age decadence and gothic opulence, Katie Lias’ dark, kaleidoscopic design imagines Glamis as a burned-out hotel, all bullet-riddled brickwork and flickering signage... it congeals into an appealingly unwholesome whole.
- The Stage
Lias' reimagining of the Watermill's space as a sinister sleazy hotel, possibly a bordello, run by the Macbeths. With dark humour, the entry is dominated by a neon sign where O and T short out at key moments, leaving it reading H—EL.
- WhatsOnStage
I always look forward to the transformation of the Watermill for every play and the set for Macbeth does not disappoint.
