Flexible casting for 8-40 students and permission to edit the script and songs make it easy to tailor the play to the needs of your class and community. Your purchase of one copy per teacher includes permission to photocopy the script for students. /// SYNOPSIS: "Macbeth, the Musical Comedy" is a hilariously fractured version of Shakespeare's famous tale. Macbeth, a tad confused, keeps spouting lines from Hamlet (much to the annoyance of the other characters), Lady Macbeth is obsessed with dry-cleaning the castle drapes, and King Duncan boasts that he invented plaid. 35 minutes; grades 6-12+. /// WHAT IT DOES: "Macbeth, the Musical Comedy" is a great complement to your curriculum resources in language arts. And, like all Bad Wolf Press plays, this show can be used to improve reading comprehension, vocabulary, performance and speaking skills, class camaraderie and teamwork, and school engagement and parental involvement¿all while enabling students to be part of a truly fun and creative experience they will never forget!
