  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”

  4. Required Contents of the Director’s Notebook • Script • Costumes • Character Analyses • Staging • Set and Props • Music

  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
