special performance
a quick synopsis
“blood will have blood” is a one man theatre performance of the story of Macbeth that incorporates powerful imagery, minimalist staging, and stylised acting.
“blood will have blood”or “3” is a one-man performance of the story of Macbeth, the story of one man, the story of Fate, the story of us all. All wrapped up in a philosophical fairytale of Shakespeare shortest play.
"Well he deserves that name"
Macbeth. A good friend. A good soldier. A good husband. And, a good citizen. Has been teased with the thought of 3 wishes. It sounds good…but there is only one catch: to receive the third wish he must cross the line of corruption to pry it from the strong and spiteful hands of Lady Fortune. And once the line is crossed there is no going back…no reverse.
"Two truths are told."
“blood will have blood” uses selected monologues from Macbeth as well as text from Shakespeare’s other plays and includes text from other classics. It could be seen as a political piece, a social piece, or a religious piece but it is all of these and none: “is a paradox piece, a philosophical work, which plays with Shakespeare’s favourite paradoxes; what is good and what is bad? and what is reality and what is illusion? …it just depends on what you believe…and there is no reverse…no reverse…

special performance
A Fool Time Production is very proud to be associated with MONA during their "42 Days Music Marathon" with a performance of "blood will have blood".
As this is a special performance it means that the performance will also be somewhat different from the full performance due to the performance space and the concept of "42 Days Music Marathon"; performers on display as museum exhibits.
The Nolan Wall is a non-control zone, which means that the use of lights and staging is unavailable and the text has been paared down to suitable fit the environment and concept.
This offers up some challenges, someting a classical actor enjoys.
Most of the main monologues appear in the piece as well as some from Shakespeare's other works that complement the themes of "blood will have blood".
I look forward to to the performance and seeing you there.

a fool time production
Based in the valley village of Queenstown, which lays within the wilderness of the West Coast of Tasmania, a fool time production was established in 2016 and is building a base for classical theatre for Tasmania and mainland Australia.
Our aim is to create and craft classical theatre for the present based on the classical theatre education of Prof. Dr. Jurij Alschitz; AKT-ZENT/ITI, G.I.T.I.S. (Russian Academy of Theater Arts) and a founding menber of the theatre "School of Dramatic Art", Moscow, with Antatolij Vasiljev.
A fool time production was founded with the intent to reignite the interest and exploration of the processes of storytelling through acting, directing and training.
It's founder has a varied background having worked in theatre, television and film; in German and English, children's theatre, puppetry, voice over, commercial and non-commercial radio, radio content production, design, web development...and the list goes on.
At present "blood will have blood" is the only work in production, although the aim of this project is create full performance utilsing advantages of high-end multi media.
Other projects are also on the drawing board and are in the early stages of conception.
