An abridged script of Shakespeare’s Macbeth for a 1 hour student performance. Excellent for supporting study of Macbeth for GCSE English. Maintains Shakespeare’s original language, rhythm/meter and all key scenes and characters. Pages, scenes and lines numbered for ease of reference and rehearsal. I directed a cast of students all the way from year 7-13 (ages 11-18), with SEN and MAGT/GAMA, performing this in one hour, including movement/dance sequencesfor ensemble and it was very successful and well received by students, parents, staff and governors.
