On Wednesday, January 11 the students of 3rd, 4th and 5th form watched William Shakespeare`s adapted version of Macbeth. Here is a short summary of the play:
Macbeth and Banquo, victorious generals serving Duncan, King of Scotland, meet three witches who prophesy that Macbeth will become King. Lady Macbeth helps persuade her husband to murder Duncan while he is a guest at their castle, and Malcolm, son and heir to Duncan, flees to England. Macbeth, now King, has Banquo murdered, whose ghost subsequently appears to him at a banquet. When the witches warn Macbeth to beware of Macduff, a nobleman, he has Macduff’s wife and children murdered. Macduff and Malcolm raise an army against Macbeth. Lady Macbeth dies, possibly through suicide. Macbeth is killed by Macduff and Malcolm is crowned King of Scotland.
Read some comments on the play:
We enjoyed it very much but sometimes it was difficult to understand the content. We liked Banquo more than the other protagonists as he was the funniest. We were surprised that four actors could play so many different roles. Meli, Nathalie 4B
We really enjoyed the play Macbeth because the actors played their roles very well. We are looking forward to watching another play next year. Kati, Lisa 4B
The play Macbeth, which was well played by the actors, was very impressive to watch. It was a little bit hard to understand but the good thing was that we had read the booklet before. The actors spoke clearly, which helped a lot. All in all, it was a nice experience and very interesting. Gözde, Alissa 4B
