Macbeth: Act the story in 20 events

Shakespeare Schools Festival believes that the best way to introduce the story and world of a Shakespeare play is through a practical exploration of the text. This is a good exercise to encourage your students to work practically to discover the story themselves, giving them increased ownership and understanding of the play. We have divided Macbeth into 20 events. An event is something that happens in the play which moves the action of the plot forward. You and your students will tell the whole story of Macbeth using these key moments of change.
