This is a satirical comedy spoof of Macbeth written as a Year 6 end of year play. The play takes a modern and humorous look at the original Macbeth story and can be used as a companion piece for teaching about William Shakespeare and the original play. The play has 26 parts (as I teach in a small school) but some parts could be altered and extended to fit a larger cast. The play includes songs by the band ‘Queen’ throughout the play for the children to sing as well.

This is a KS2 satirical spoof of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, written for use as an end-of-year play for Year 6. As it was written for my class, the cast is for 26 children, though certain roles could be split or extended (such as the Chorus) or added in from the original play, as it is abridged. This play can help the children gain a basic understanding of the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, including rewritten versions of original lines for the children to understand their context. The play includes popular songs to break up the action, such as Queen’s ‘Crazy Little Thing Called Love’, Michael Jackson’s ‘Beat It’ and ‘Tragedy’ by Steps. Of course, you can remove these if it doesn’t fit. The resource creator is a KS2 teacher who just happens to have a love for creative writing and drama - and I’m sure, if you’re here, you’re a teacher who doesn’t want to pay out of the ear for a script! Enjoy!
