Macbeth - The Tour has begun!

Well, it's been a week and Oddsocks have left derby to tour around the UK! They took my dressing gown too! I've got a lovely photo of it being used in the first show...sadly it rained all evening....but, never mind! The show always goes on! Next week they will be back in Derby performing at Derby Theatre and I'm so excited! I haven't actually seen the show yet, but I was at the first read through and they have a great cast of actors; Andy Barrow (the director of Oddsocks Productions) is taking the title role of Macbeth and Derby's own Bethan Nash is also among the cast....she just got in to The Old Vic theatre school! So proud of her!

Happy Macbeth
Witch!

Look! He's being attacked by his own wig!

Is this a floating dagger I see before me?

Macduff

Evil and very life-like human sized puppets!
