Shakespeare Shorties: Macbeth

Shakespeare Shorties are for teachers who are long on ambition but short on time. These short, fifteen-minute scripts are a great way to expose middle grades to William Shakespeare's legendary stories, characters, and language in a format that is quick and easy to grasp.

Shakespeare Shorties can be used for formal performances or as a fun activity to get a class up and moving and students interacting with the text. Introducing Shakespeare with short, hilarious scripts allows important ground work for more in depth studies in years to come.

Follow Macbeth and Lady Macbeth as they get greedy and one death leads to another. The famous "double-double, toil and trouble" witches and the obligatory "knock-knock joke" make their debut in this brilliant tragedy. Despite the gore, Macbeth continues to be the most popular Shakespeare play done with children...go figure!
