Attn JMS: Morden in shadows *spoilers for Macbeth*

[Ryan Nock]

I was reading Macbeth in English class, and when we reached the part of
Banquo's ghost, I wondered how to effectively portray a ghost on stage.
Then I remembered how two or three times Morden sort of shrank into shadows,
as though the lights above him dimmed. Still, I don't see how just dimming
one light over his head could have darkened him that much. I believe it was
in . . . Signs and Portents, for sure, and one episode in Season two. Since
we want to put on a stage production of Macbeth, this would be a neat trick.

I'll feel stupid if it's just turning down the lights, but I'd still like to
know the specifics. Also, I think my email address might be blocked to JMS,
so could someone else post this and ask him, if his server doesn't show him
this message? Thank you.

Oh, and thank you for Rising Stars. I've been watching Straczynski since
The Real Ghostbusters and Captain Power, and I need my fix still. :)

We moved a screen between him and the light-source, then moved it away again.
