Your mission is to get to Malcolm in England as quickly as possible. Refer to a
detailed map
(with a scale) of the United Kingdom and plot your route. Remember you only have
horses available to you as a means of transport and you will need to stop for

comments.

Scene 4
In “Macbeth”, the characters often say one thing but mean
another. Both metaphorically and literally, a lot of
backstabbing takes place. In a group, plan and act out any
scene that fits this description well. After each delivery, the
characters turn to the audience and say what their real
intentions are and how they really feel at that moment.
Devise an extra scene
between Lady Macbeth and
Lady Macduff where they
talk abut: recent events /
their husbands / the murder
of Duncan / the
disappearance of Banquo /
Macbeth’s apparent illness

disappearance of Macduff /
Lady Macbeth’s ascension
to the throne / the common,
everyday problems of
running a castle and a
family
