These girls have a Macbeth club. They agree to meet in an abandoned field after school to ‘do’ the play. Each has learned her part. The playing style is modern, quick, unaffected – the girls never pretend to be boys – they are, however, fully committed and present in the stakes of the characters they inhabit. They believe so fully in character that they are capable of losing themselves.
The tartan print is a nod to Scotland, but we are in America – where school violence is so common as to be horrifyingly banal.
Once a girl enters, she never exits the stage – though she may exit the scene, she is always present, watching.
