Re: Witch from Macbeth

Great portrait, is there any kind of story with this photo?

Thanks. This is from a show that I wrote, directed and acted in last Christmas. The show is the Christmas Revels. There are nine companies around the country that do this show, which started in Cambridge MA. Each company does a different show, involving singing, dancing, and acting, each year, but there are common elements that all the shows have, notably a theme of death and rebirth, to celebrate the ending of the old year and start of the new. Usually the shows have a national/cultural theme (e.g. Irish, English, Scandinavian, New World Pioneers, etc.). For last year's show, I wrote a story about Shakespeare being disillusioned near the end of his life, planning to burn all his plays. To persuade him not to do that, many of his characters come to life, including the three witches from Macbeth. This woman, a long-time member of our cast, really got into the role, and her makeup got progressively more extreme, and more fun. She also wore ruby slippers, which she claimed to one of the other witches that she got from a little girl, who had a little dog, which was delicious.
