| SECONDARY SCHOOL SHOW: Macbeth |  | Macbeth, William Shakespeare (adapted by Scott Koorey and Body in Space)
Body in Space are excited to be recreating an old favourite of Lisa and Dan's, Macbeth. This version of The Scottish Play (or The Red King as the cast have taken to calling it!) uses only 6 actors and is inspired by Macbeth's lines, 'life is but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more...'
In this semi-Brechtian interpretation, all of the players except Macbeth (until those lines are spoken) know that they are actors. They exist to create Macbeth's reality for him. This allows us to be creative with our staging and to make the piece nice and physical (just the way we like it!). Body in Space would be thrilled to present Macbeth at your school, contact us to make arrangements.
We look forward to sharing our dabbling with ye!
- 120 minutes, 6 actors, suitable for ages 13 years (Yr 9) and older
