A British Subject was originally performed at the Pleasance during the Edinburgh Festival and was directed by Hannah Eidinow and produced by Pleasance Theatre Trust. Following an initial consultation and training with Orb specialist Richard Lambert, lighting designer Mark Jonathon and assistant George Bishop chose the Orb for pre-programming prior to their acclaimed festival run.
"As someone who has used the Frog 2 for a number of years, the power, versatility, and user friendliness of the Orb made it a no brainer to bring it across for the show. Once again the support from Zero 88 has made this production an incredibly painless process. Their ongoing support is invaluable to the Pleasance and as expected the desk performed flawlessly," commented Briton.
It has been a busy first year for the Orb. Some of the many credits include Scott Mills the Musical (at the Edinburgh Fringe), the opening ceremony of the GSSE (in Cyprus) and now A British Subject in New York.
Zero 88 has also confirmed the imminent release of version 5.4.0 software for all ZerOS consoles which adds Tracking Backup functionality to the consoles and offline editor (Phantom ZerOS).
