DR LEDBETTER’S EXPERIMENT

Wired for sound

There were those in Kilkenny who, after seeing the Performance Corporation‘s site-specific show, spoke knowledgeably about Dr Ledbetter and his place in Irish history. They should have known better. There was no such person. but something about the authenticity of Tom Swift's script convinced them otherwise.

Their voices are mixed with sound effects and original music.

‘lt's like a play in your head,‘ says Swift. ‘It allows us to have actors 300 yards away spring into the audience. Even though it was written for spaces in Kilkenny, the venues we have here are better. We trap people in our own little soundscape and grab them by the ears.’ (Mark Fisher)
