MAC TW1™ Quality for Australia’s “The Rocky Horror Show”

It’s astounding, time is fleeting and “The Rocky Horror Show” is back in a totally brand new Australian production at Sydney’s new Star Theatre. This production, directed by Gale Edwards with sets by Dale Ferguson and lighting by Damien Cooper, has received rave reviews in the press and continues to wow audiences.

The moving lights in Damien’s rig are mostly Martin MACs with twelve MAC 2000 Profiles™, ten MAC 2000 Performances™, seven MAC 2000 Washes™ and eighteen Martin MAC TW1™ tungsten wash lights, all supplied through Martin’s Australian representative, Show Technology.

“I really like the quality of light you get from the MAC TW1,” Damien said. “It’s a quality I often find I’m missing with normal moving lights. They also have a nice clean fade to black. The combination of the TW1’s with the MAC 2000 Profiles and Performances works very well.”

Damien found the new Star Theatre a fairly difficult venue to design for as it is rather cavernous and does not have a normal proscenium arch style. To compensate, Damien had a proscenium arch loaded with camp light effects built into the set. There are rope lights, LEDs, festoon lighting and crowning it all are LED tubes arranged in a pseudo-haphazard fashion.
