macbeth skit ideas??

The 3 witches prophesying to Macbeth and Banquo.

Banquo's Ghost coming to the state dinner when Macbeth becomes King - as the play is written, the ghost makes an entrance but my personal opinion the audience shouldn't see a ghost, only Macbeth sees him anyway. But Shakespeare's ghosts were always on stage. There's the ghost, there's extras as alarmed guests, there's King Macbeth "Shake not thy gory locks at me!" (he appears to be talking to thin air) and then, my favourite, Queen Macbeth who tries to smooth things over, saying "My Lord is often thus." which breaks me up every time.

Good luck!

In Act 5 when MacDuff and the the other Lords are preparing for the final battle against the tyrant.

Anne, I hate to be the old guy who breaks it to you, but it's been done. "MacBird" was a successful satire about Lyndon Johnson done in the mid-60s by... I think, Leonore Kandel. But that doesn't mean it can't be done again! Everything Shakespearean has been done again. Heck, even Shakespeare himself cribbed his plot lines. Good luck! ______________________________________... Anne, I got this from a Google search: "1967 Feb 22, Barbara Garson's "MacBird," premiered in NYC." Not Leonore Kandel. Barbara Garson. My bad (but, hey, forty years later?...) ;-)
