Falcon File
Malcom Mac Crínaín, Kind Duncan's son, is obsessed with finding his father's killer. He is a highly superstitious man who is convinced that omens connected to birds will help him uncover the truth.
This was an especially fun project to work on because of the high level of detail involved in this prop. I pulled quotes straight from the text of Shakespeare's Macbeth and researched police files and witness statements from the 30's. We sourced period specific paperclips and used several types of paper to give an authentic feel. I learned how to use a typewriter and pen and nib to fill out the paper work. Because the prop is roughly handled by both actors and audience members, the elements of the file have to be easily recreated. I formatted the original documents in a way that allows them to be seamlessly printed in over and over again.

Porter Shrine
Can be found in the back corner of the Mckittrik Hotel Lobby. The Porter used items he found around the lobby and in lost and found (maps, luggage tags, telegrams) to create a shrine. It's a strange bastardization of a Mary statue and represents his connection to Hecate, Queen of the Witches.
Train Ticket
Agnes Naismith has arrived at the Gallow Green Station to look for her missing sister, Grace. I researched train tickets from the 30's and formatted this ticket using Adobe Illustrator. The text on the back was written using a typewriter, which was standard for the time. I sourced a paper that looks similar to period tickets, and used a rolling spike tool for the perforation where the ticket and stub would be separated.
