Twelfth Night shaken up with KV2
- Details
It was the latest in a long line of successful KV2 theatre productions featuring sound design by Richard Brooker – who once again chose to use KV2’s EX products to transfer every detail of the performance and energetic musical arrangements from the stage to the audience.
Twelfth Night follows in the footsteps of Dream Girls, Annie, Sister Act and Funny Girl in successfully deploying KV2’s range of True Point Source loudspeakers and Richard has been instrumental in the rapid rise in profile of KV2 in UK theatres – a trend that has now been emulated on Broadway and in many European touring productions with increasing regularity.
Richard comments, “Twelfth Night was a particularly tricky show. The beautiful set was a combination of a traditional Proscenium look with a long thrust, almost traverse runway stage extension. Absolutely stunning to look at but a real challenge from a sound point of view.
“With the audience effectively on three sides across three levels it required an ‘Outside the box’ approach in order to deliver clarity, energy and excitement to every audience member – and I didn’t hesitate to specify KV2 for the task.
“With the help of KV2’s EX 6’s, EX 10’s, EX 26’s and EX 15’s with low end supported by EX 2.5 subwoofers the show came to life sonically and I was able to create an exciting soundscape for the show that faithfully represented the performance from the cast and band, and delivered the magic of the direction of this truly original production.”
