At Woodfield School, Kingsbury we worked with KS3 on MACBETH. One of the classes knew the story really well and the other not so much. Either is fine with us. We had some wonderful improvised conversations between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth (Nick and I almost went for a tea break and left them to it!). We also had some imaginative descriptions of High Dunsinane Castle (“a dungeon pungent with the smell of onions”) and a, frankly, bizarre addition to the heath (“elephant carcasses”). “Whale poo, chocolate cake and toy trains in vanilla sauce” were popular at the Coronation Banquet, all washed down with “unlimited wine” (which you’d need to be fair swallowing a toy train!). But you know Finding the Will – never a wrong answer just an interesting idea!
