Although this was the third time for me to do this show, it was the first time for me to actually do the lighting design for it. The show was produced by the Trinity Shakespeare Festival in Fort Worth, Texas and each member of our design team won a Dallas/Fort Worth Critics Forum Award for our contributions to the show. I was working with Director Steven Fried, Set Designer Brian Clinnin, Costume Designer Aaron Patrick Turner, and Sound Designer Toby Jaguar Algya.

M. Lance Lusk from D Magazine said, "Firstly, the aesthetics from the team of Brian Clinnin, Michael Skinner, and Toby Jaguar Algya (Scenic, Lighting, and Composition/Sound design) are phenomenal in every sense of the word."

Punch Shaw, of the Fort Worth Star Telegram said, " All the technical elements of the show -- Brian Clinnin's rustic set, Michael Skinner's artful lighting plan and Aaron Patrick Turner's well-conceived costume designs -- are also exceptional. "

Chris O'Rourke of the Tulsa Examiner said, " Trinity’s Macbeth is a visual spectacle and a master class in attention to detail…it is a powerful, energetic, visceral experience drenched in blood, murder and madness.”
