Dear friend

You just missed the battle of the decade and there probably isn’t going to be a battle like this in a century. So let me tell you what actually happened firstly let me just say there was a lot of deaths and even more injuries so the infirmary was totally full the doctors were so busy trying to heal people and they did a good job however the oppositions had even more deaths and injuries mainly because of our captains Macbeth and Banquo and weren’t they the best captains ever killing every one of our enemies in sight probably killing half the troops together however Macbeth killed more people than Banquo he even killed the Norwegian lord who was leading well trying to lead the other team to victory but dead in the processes I mean we could have have had a bigger victory but the original thane of cawdor is a traitor and was part of Norway’s team so macbeth ended up killing him so if it wasn’t for him we would of lost so we all thank brave, heroic, skilful macbeth to lead us all the way to victory but there is one problem we no longer have a thane of cawdor so who is it going to be? I guess no one knows NO am joking its obviously macbeth I mean he killed the traitor and pretty much won it for us so its not been announced but am pretty sure its going to be him. However Banquo did play a big part in the battle and with out him he wouldn’t have gave a point to macbeth that the thane of cawdor was free for the taking and thats when he died and also Banquo killed many men but saved just as much including macbeth it was him who called out macbeth just as someone was running to him about to kill him but he called out his name and saved his life so.

This battle took place at a heath a calm peaceful place which was absolutely beautiful and wonderful well before the battle it was like this however after the battle it totally changed it was all roughed up, it was muddy all over, dirty and all the flowers had been trampled all over on and are now gone and the mood of the place had absoulutly changed it was know scary

Dear friend

To stage the beginning of Mac Beth is I would start with how the witches speak so the way they would speak is firstly they would have a normal soft kind of voice like a normal person and then after they while there saying there lines and through the middle they make a transition from a soft voice to a old and croaky voice the normal type of witches voice but then they all drink a potion in the end with makes there voice go back to that soft normal kind of voice that they had at the beginning.

Next on what I would do is decide what the witches would actually wear and where they would where to so firstly the setting would be a old abandoned fair park or fair ground witch is dark and scary and very moody and on that fair ground there is a few rides like rollercoasters, fairesswheel, a big top for where the circus was and  most importantly the scary ghost ride where the witches secret hide out or there lair where all there cauldrons and there spells are. Now the witches will be young bad boy teenagers on there phone when they come but change back to an old raggedy normal typical witch.

After that am going to talk about the lighting so firstly at the setting there will be no lights at all and then once the witches come in the lights shine on them while the pretend to be teenagers on there phones and then there will be a flash of lighting and the witches change to be there other character the old witch and then when they leave to there secret lair the lights follow them and when they reach the door the lights go off and they use candles to light up the place

lastly I want to talk about the staging now there are a few parts to it such as props and what they will be using and the movement so where they will come in from so firstly the movement. At the start I want the three witches to enter from opposite sides so one from the left one from the right and one from the centre and they meet  in the middle and then there they drink there potion (witch is one of the props) and turn to normal and then they go to there lair and say there lines. Now the props are the potions that they drink and that are in the lair also there will be hats and a broom stick that they carry around.

And that’s how I would direct act 1 scene1 of Macbeth.
