A "Macbeth" Interview with Damon Noel


Next up in our parade of interviews is Damon Noel, a fine actor who plays the part of Fleance (among other parts) in the ARTS production of Macbeth, which wraps up this weekend at the Renaissance Theatre. Here's what he had to say:

Q: You're part of a classic Shakespeare play (I won't name it, in case you hold to the traditional superstition),
but in case our reader isn't familiar with it, tell us the basic story.
Damon: Macbeth is the story of a man who succumbs to the temptation of power and is led down a path of murder, betrayal, and madness. Plus it's got some awesome sword fighting and gore, so yay!
 
Q: Tell us about the character you play.

Damon: I play Fleance, Banquo's son. I mostly just follow my father around. But I also play a few minor roles that are very enjoyable as well.
 
Q: What's the most challenging thing about this show?
Damon: Mopping up the blood.
 
Q: Will the audience be scared or shocked by this production?

Damon: I truly hope so.
 
Q: Why did you want to be part of this show?

Damon: I had never done Shakespeare, and what better play than Macbeth to start!
 
Q: Why would you recommend this show to our readers?
Damon: This is a thriller of a show and would be enjoyed by audiences of any kind, even if they aren't Shakespearean scholars.
 
Q: Tell us the dates, times and place for the show.

Damon: October 12,13 at 8 p.m.
October 14 at 2 p.m.
October 19, 20 at 8 p.m.
October 21 at 2 p.m.
Renaissance Theatre at 900 8th Street in Huntington.
