“Mmmbeth” impressed those who saw the play, only having words of enthusiasm and greatness to describe it.

The play ran for two performances Jan. 21 and 22 in the auditorium.

Senior Julie Lemon, student director, said that despite some of the cast not projecting their voices loudly, the show went well.

“I think that we got our fight scenes down and they were impressive, but some of our lines were not loud enough,” Lemon said. “As a whole, we worked really well together and made the play a success.”

Lemon played Twit, one of the witches in the play.

Chance Wikaryasz, senior, really brought the character of Mmmbeth to life. Mmmbeth was the perfect character for Wikaryasz to play because Wikaryasz has a funny, comical personality.

“This is probably the best play I have ever been in. It is the funniest, bloodiest, and most violent play I have ever been a part of,”  Wikaryasz said. “We (the cast) have improved a lot since day one. With learning our lines from bettering our acting skills, we have been dedicated to the play since the first day of rehearsals.”

Junior Cami Clarambeau played the beautiful Lady Mmmbeth, who could seduce Mmmbeth to do anything she wanted, including killing anyone it took to make her queen of Scotland.

Clarambeau talked about what did not go as planned on opening night.

“I think we all were moving really fast, so we could have slowed down a little,” Clarambeau said.

However, she is happy with how it turned out.

“The jokes were represented really well and everyone worked well together. I cannot wait for the next play,” she said.

Playing one of the ghost warriors, junior Andrew Flynn liked the overall production even though technical problems caused a problem in the final performance.

“Most of the scenes went well, except for the final scene tonight (Jan. 22),” Flynn said. “In the final scene where we dance, the music shut off, so the cast had to improvise. Everything except that mishap, both shows went great.”

It was amazing how the cast improvised when their music went off, however.

Senior Taylor Stockton, who played the witch Haggy, was satisfied with the play.

“Everyone brought a lot of energy to the stage,” Stockton said. “A few minor setbacks happened, but nothing major happened to affect the play. We had a great turnout, and the play was a success.”
