Neurosis vocalist/guitarist Scott Kelly has been appearing as a Gravedigger in a play of ‘Hamlet‘ at the ‘Oregon Shakespeare Festival‘ in Ashland, Oregon. Kelly said of his role:
“This is an adventure for me. I have never scored a film or a play before and I’ve always wanted the opportunity to do so. Thanks to my employers of the last sixteen years, I am realizing this dream. ‘Hamlet‘ is an incredible ghost story about the darkest internal process. This production is amazing, the actors are some of the best at their craft in the world, and the director, Lisa Petterson, is nothing short of visionary. My co-collaborator, Paul James Prendergast, is one of my favorite people and it was his idea to bring me into this whole thing. I hope that as many of you who can be here will be here to share in this unique experience.”
The production plays twice a week through till October 04th, though Kelly will be absent from August 08th-22nd to accommodate Neurosis‘ European touring. Neurosis themselves will release their new album, “Fires Within Fires“, on September 23rd.
