[edit] History
The Footlights started out as a student theater group, with some members as young as fourteen, and performed their first show entitled 'Macbeth- The Director's Cut' in March 2006 in Hampshire, UK.
Late 2006, Danielle Sheen joined the group, to star as 'Delphine' in the new project, entitled'The Picasso Code'.
In early 2007, the Footlights completed their film 'The Picasso Code'.With the money raised, the Footlights plan to perform at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, as part of their Fringe 2008 project.
[edit] Comments from the cast
Max Perman writes,
'It all started a very long time ago with a very different cast as I remember. It was the year of 2004, sometime round Open Day, when I first met the people I would be acting with today on stage. Peter Stanley, Tom Morgan, Joshua Harris, and Alex Butler to be precise. The next big thing happened last year in Autumn Term. It turns out that Peter and Tom had been writing a sequel for Macbeth over some period. A sequel to Macbeth I hear you cry, well yes, a sequel, Involving yet more crazy occurrences than before. Because the play of Macbeth leaves on the climax of Macbeth’s death, you never really found out what happened next, so that’s what we did.'
Josh Harris explains that this is where the idea of 'Macbeth - The Director's Cut' developed from.
Tom Morgan describes the Footlights as, 'A plethora of imagination running wild like a cheetah in the desert.'
Peter Stanley adds that 'Project Fringe 2008 is the Holy Grail of everything we are trying to achieve.'.
