4V P3a Making Macbeth B2

The Story Behind This Task

You are…

part of a group of performers who perform Shakespeare’s plays.

Together with your fellow actors, you are going to perform Macbeth, the famous play by Shakespeare. You will perform one or more scenes, and others will perform the rest.

You will first learn what the play Macbeth is about, and you will then read through the scenes that have been assigned to you.

You will also deepen your knowledge on plays, and use this to create a memorable performance.

In the last week(s) of the project, you will perform your scenes.
