I used Roscolux 2005 Storaro Cyan and 4230 CC 30 Blue for the first time in a recent Madama Buttterfly in Calabria. I used the Cyan Turquoise behind a black scrim as a background to silhoutte the small, waiting figures on stage with the addition of a few “streak” gobos. The effect ellicited such strong emotions that it gave me goose-bumps and I swear I heard sobs in the audience - it was as if we were all waiting. The Blue made a "dull" white light so thick that you cut it with a knife- it really made her a heroine...

On colours to give a dayglo or fluorescent effect.

On colours that would enhance and provoke the set and costumes.

"Knock Against My Heart" was a new play inspired by The Tempest.

"The Bus" by Lukas Barfuss is a new piece of writing.

Flicking through Rosco's E-Colour+ swatchbook I knew at once that Surprise Peach (017) would provide exactly what I wanted. On top of that I chose E-Colour+ Half CT Orange (205) for the key lights to cut through the Surprise Peach at specific points of focus on the set, the bar and tables and chairs. That dealt with the bulk of the show. As each character told his story the general state slowly dipped to concentrate on him leaving just the Surprise Peach for the rest of the set.
