  • February 25, 2016 ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT The Western Carolinian Macbeth is the New Black Review Madeline Moore Junior Editor The classic Shake- speare character, Macbeth, made an opening-night ap- pearance at Western Carolina University on Wednesday, Feb. 17th in Hoey Auditorium, but with a new twist. De- rived from an adaptation by Jayne Morgan and Linda Parsons Marion, directed by Claire Eye, and performed by West- ern Carolinas School of Stage & Screen, Macbeth met a popular Netflix show in a production called Macbeth is the New Black. The basic plot of the play is set in a womens detention center with characters that mimic the essence of the TV show Orange is the New Black. Dylan and Su- zanne are young theater artists who are working with the women at the prison on putting to- gether the Shakespeare play Macbeth. They hope it will help open up a creative outlet for the women at the center. As the play progresses, more and more parallels start to emerge between the women of the prison and the play they are performing until the main character, Trina, gets completely envel- oped into playing the role of Macbeth. At this point, the two overarch- ing stories (the women at the prison and the Mac- beth play they are a part of) collide and morph together. At the end the characters are slowly pulled back to reality, but damage has already been done and blood has already been spilled. The cast of the play worked well together at creating an emotional, tragic, and often disturb- ing mood on the stage and in the audience, something necessary in any production of Macbeth. Samantha Alicandri and Claire Vanderlinden, the actors portraying Trina and Jackie, or Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, exhibited exquisite interpretations of their roles through their facial gestures, body language, voice | projection and overall auras of their char- acters. Alicandri and Vanderlindin definitely know how to captivate an audience. Cierra Sokoloski, Zoe Manolas and Margaret Carpenter, the actors who played Rosa, Tiny and Jessie, or the witch- es, also gave wonder- ful portrayals of their characters, especially when captivating the dark magic essence of the witches. In addition to the cast, the sound effects used for the production of the play and the costumes really helped to set the mood. Whispers played through the sound system of the theater providing a creepy chill in the audience, and the costumes at times served as one of the only re- minders that the char- acters were prisoners at a womens penitentiary, and not solely their roles in Macbeth. Although they didnt use nearly enough fake blood, Macbeth is the New Black, as per- formed by the School of _ Stage & Screen, was an interesting adaptation of a classic play that held the audience in a state of excited tragedy from start to finish.
