Context:
Where some productions have tried to slip the ghost unnoticed amongst the living to create surprise, Greg Hicks felt strongly that the ghost should be from another world, that his appearance should create a shock.
Greg did a lot of research into pain and punishment for
this production and was keen to make
purgatory a shocking
reality by using the Bhuto exercises he describes. The unearthliness
is emphasised by the ghost wearing very little costume; as
a result some lines referring to armour had to be cut from
the script. The little costume remaining is exactly that:
a remnant, a symbol of something that once was. |
