  2. Performing Macbeth Staging Scenes

  3. Performance Project • Each group will be assigned a scene from Macbeth to perform • Memorization of lines is encouraged, but not required • You may cut or edit your scene as long as it stays true to Shakespeare’s original text • Grading: • You will receive two grades for this project • One for your performance • The other for the “Director’s Notebook”

  6. Let’s take for example, 4.1 FIRST WITCH Round about the cauldron go, In the poisoned entrails throw. Toad, that under cold stone Days and nights has thirty-one Sweltered venom sleeping got, Boil thou first i' th' charmèd pot. ALL Double, double toil and trouble,Fireburn, and cauldron bubble. The first witch chants in a high pitched, squeaky voice. Pauses after each couplet for emphasis (go/throw), (got/pot) Entrails: guts Sweltered: boiled/cooked As she speaks, she drops objects into a cauldron The three witches speak in unison pausing after trouble and bubble. The three actors sway from side to side moving around the cauldron
