Hecat’s Poison:Enter the three Witches is an exquisite well acted one woman play adapted from Shakespeare’s Macbeth from the Witches’ point of view.
S. Sato plays all the characters in a beautifully nuanced and complete production. She becomes each character with full emotion, physicality and voice while imaginatively integrating object theatre.
From Japan, she is a British trained Actor and usually performs with her company, but this is a special adaptation of the Scottish play (in English) for the Edinburgh Fringe.
Sato’s presence on stage is strong as she deftly moves through the play’s demonic characters and scenes – her movement is fluid with visceral characters and transitions. Also, there is a hint of Japanese intensity, steely calmness and flair in her movement, elegant costumes and fascinating minimal set, which make this performance even more special.
This is a wonderful dramatic show and well worth your time.
Go to Venue 40, Victoria street, just off the Mile (at George IV Bridge) daily except Sundays 11:30am.
