Shadows are great - here at Metta we love a bit of moody and dramatic lighting - and also the (in our opinions) under-exploited medium of shadow puppetry too. Will is always fond of dark lighting (?!) - or perhaps more accurately using shadow/being very directional in his lighting. But the queen of shadowy lighting (who is actually known in the business as 'The queen of darkness') is
Paule Constable whose brilliance/darkness can currently be seen in lots of shows (
War Horse in town,
Danton's Death at the National, the
Blasted that just closed at the Lyric, Hammersmith). In a similar vein I like to think of
Will as the prince of darkness - not in an evil way! (Also he looks a bit like Paule).
