WHAT'S DONE IS DONE

... as Lady Macbeth said.

The 4th, 5th and 6th grade students are creating grand theatre and how best can that be done? ... but alas by performing a piece from the great William Shakespeare.  Macbeth was written sometime between 1603 and 1607 and was his shortest tragedy.  It is believed that the earliest account of a performance was at the Globe Theatre in London in April 1611 and first published in Folio in 1623.  The British Library is the national library of the United Kingdom and among its over 150 million items holds the first, second and third impressions of Macbeth in Folio.

Macbeth tells of a man who is deceived by himself and his wife. Thunder and lightning crash above a Scottish moor. Three haggard old women, the witches, appear out of the storm. In eerie, chanting tones, they make plans to meet again upon the heath, after the battle, to confront Macbeth. As quickly as they arrive, they disappear.

Our performers are very excited about this opportunity!  They hold a small statue of Shakespeare and various tea towels depicting images from Stratford-upon-Avon, Shakespeare's birthplace and of Shakespeare himself.
