McB@McK.com

So within a whirlwind 12 hours of drunkenness with the lovely Mia Katigbak, a plan was hatched to produced McB@McK.com, a producation of Macbeth at Mark et al's apartment in Brooklyn. The following are her (McKatigbak the producer's) restrictions on the production:


1. The piece cannot be more than 90 minutes. Preferably, shorter.

2. It will be an all-male cast, with no more than 6 actors.

3. It is pre-cast with the gentlemen copied on this email as your company. Other than the role of Lady M being undertaken by Mr. Jaynes, you are free to double/triple cast as you fit, although I would strongly suggest you work as collaboratively as possible with your company.

4. You must include the following musical instruments in your c-c-c-c-concept: horn(s); drums.

5. The song “Bridge Over Troubled Water” by Paul Simon (rendered by any artist of your choice) must be in the performance.

6. Please also incorporate some form of sign language.

7. Include one bicycle (or more) in your set. It (they) can be used. Or ridden.



In short, I accepted her request for a director. One last restriction I have placed upon the show is a requirement to use the entire text (here) within those <90 minutes.
