Review: A Powerful Production of Macbeth is a Success at Bay Street Theater

T.J. ClementebyT.J. Clemente
in Entertainment
Home Entertainment

Bay Street Theater’s production of Macbeth is an amazing combination of live theater and creative recording. This effort successfully brings the action and drama right to your device on demand. Right from the start the marriage of the great magic of William Shakespeare’s words and the intensity of the new technology of our times are combined in triumph. This year’s “Literature Live” production of Macbeth stands tall as a well-done production.

 

The vision of Director Allen O’Reilly, who is also Bay Street Theater’s Director of Education & Community Outreach, is crystallized by wonderful performances by the cast. Without changing a single word of the play Director O’Reilly sets the play in 1963 Scotland. With the panache of modern technology, this recording of a stage production flows with an electricity sometimes lost on live stage productions in a theater.

 

His adaptation of staging Macbeth as one part Macbeth and one part One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, effectively replaces the lofty setting of Castle Inverness with a set of a chilling and sterile Sanitorium, and works wonderfully. The production will be available for on-demand streaming—without the talkback—starting Tuesday, November 9, through Sunday, December 5.

 

Matthew Henerson as Macbeth is forceful, and effective in speaking Shakespeare’s words. His movements and energy lead this production to a wonderful level of thrilling actions.

 

Erin Margaret Pettigrew is dazzling as Lady Macbeth. Her stage presence is magnified even more through the lens of this recorded production.

 

Joe Pallister handles his four roles in this production with merit, but is most memorable in his red beret as the intense Macduff, a role he was born to play.

 

Gabriel Portundo also adds a certain gravitas that comes through on the screen in all four of his roles. Genevieve Simon shines as Malcolm with a zestful performance that glows. Director Allen O’Reilly shows his acting talent as Duncan right from the start of this production. Versatile Teresa Deberry adds grace, dignity and Shakespearean grit in her four roles.

 

Kudos and accolades to Production Stage Manager Kelsey Durkin as well as Assistant Stage Manager Joel Cote and Costume Designer Meghan O’Beirne.

 

Not enough can be said about the magic Mike Billings brought to this production as Scenic/Lighting/ and Sound Designer. His work on this recorded version of Macbeth is yet another feather in his cap. His editing and visual effects are “Disney-like.”

 

Rick Sordelet must be applauded for his staging of the swordfight in duties as Fight & Intimacy Director as well as Meg Sexton as Camera Operator. Ms. Sexton’s lens work is superb.

Book Review: the bitter end, by Nanci LaGarenne

Book Review: the bitter end, by Nanci LaGarenne

  • The place is the old Astro’s, and it looks pretty much the same except all the seating is now by the windows, and there are no tables. You can go in for slices, and overall, it’s a pretty typical pizza joint with a more retro vibe. But what’s great about this pizza is that it is thin and has a crispness to it that you don’t get anywhere else in the Hamptons. This means that even if you devour half a pie, you don’t walk away feeling bloated and like death is imminent, but you just feel really full from good pizza.

Everything is fresh, and the overall vibe is trendy. You have to go. I gave it an 8.4. #pizza  #pizzatime  #pizzalover  #hamptons  #finipizza
  • Special Screening of Love…Reconsidered, A Hamptons-Based Romantic Comedy

The Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center will be hosting a premiere of the film Love…Reconsidered on Saturday, September 30th at 7:00 p.m. in the Mollie Parnis Auditorium. This is the charming romantic comedy starring Sophie von Haselberg, Judy Gold, Marisa Ryan, Elaine Bromka, Luke Gulbranson, and Colton Haynes, set between New York City and Southampton.

Love…Reconsidered is based on Arielle Haller-Silverstone’s true love/life story, and she wrote the screenplay after losing her job during the pandemic where she then moved to the Hamptons. Haller-Silverstone is the co-owner of Le Closet, a curated consignment store, with locations in Southampton and New York City, and she can’t wait to premiere this film at WHBPAC and connect with viewers.

The screening will also include a panel discussion with the filmmakers moderated by Kate Schumacher and Carinn Jade of the well-known podcast Pop Fiction Women. They will dive into the film’s characters and the complicated lives they lead, along with the filmmaking process that brought this movie to life on the screen. Arielle Haller-Silverstone spoke more about her inspiration for the screenplay, her background, and what she is most looking forward to for the screening.

Congratulations on your film Love…Reconsidered. Can you talk about the story behind this film and where your inspiration came from to write the screenplay? 

Arielle Haller-Silverstone: I lost my job during COVID and started Le Closet from my studio apartment in Hell’s Kitchen. On a total whim, my dad knew a broker that knew a broker in Southampton, and I decided to give it a shot. I schlepped all of the clothes from NYC and opened on Windmill Lane (where the store still is today!). I knew there was a script within this story and had to make a movie. @whbpac

  • Sara Hartman Talks Musical Beginnings, Berlin, and New Album ‘Start Somewhere Dark’

With the excitement surrounding the return of the Sag Harbor Music Festival this year, one artist stood out in the lineup: Sara Hartman. She’s not your typical local artist. She is a SHMF veteran, performing at the very first one when she was just 15 years old. She grew up in Sag Harbor and attended Pierson High School. She took lessons at the famous Harbor Music Studio in Sag Harbor, and in 2015, she signed a record deal with a major label, moved to Germany, and toured the world opening for acts like Ellie Goulding, Clueso, Kelvin Jones, and many more. Her song “Monster Lead Me Home” off her Satellite EP has over 34 million Spotify streams. The US premiere of her new album “Start Somewhere Dark” will take place at Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor on Saturday, September 30th. It seems things are coming full circle for Sara.

She spoke to Hamptons.com about her musical beginnings, Berlin, and new album ‘Start Somewhere Dark.’

Take us back to the beginning of your musical journey. How did it all start?

I grew up in Sag Harbor and took lessons with Paul Chapin at Harbor Music. It was a little lesson space near Sag Town Coffee way back in the day. I got a drum set for Christmas and really fell in love with it. I’m sure my neighbors were not as in love with the instrument as I was haha. I was really grateful to be working with Chapin as a teacher. He taught me a bit of piano, bass, guitar, and ukelele as well. That led to me writing songs in my bedroom as a way of dealing with a bit of a chaotic home life. It was therapy for me to be able to express myself through songs. I was adopted by the East End music scene after playing a show at Crossroads Music in Amagansett and soaked up all that I could learn. I was really supported by my family and my teachers at Pierson. Without all this, I wouldn’t be where I am today. @sarahartmanmusic

  • Behind the Bar: Dopo Argento in Southampton

Okay, let’s set the scene: we’re walking down Main Street, Southampton, black mini shoulder bags hanging between us. We’ve just finished dinner a few doors down, arms linked and chatting about that mini Dachshund we saw enjoying an evening stroll with its owner. What’s the next stop? You ask. A little night cap? I suggest. Could it be a warm July night, a moody October weekend– doesn’t matter because you know this bar is just as delicious in the summer months as it is on a biting winter night. @dopoargentosouthampton
