Year 10 The Banquet

Year 10 The Banquet
Act 3 Scene 4 – Macbeth – The Banquet Scene.
This is one of the pivotal moments of the play, where the downfall of our protagonist is clear to see to the audience. The prophecy that will lead to Macbeth’s dethroning is eventualising before his eyes, and the story begins to take a turn. Overpowered by guilt and paranoia, Macbeth loses control of his own destiny.

Our Year 10 Students decided to re-enact this famous section of the play by staging their own breakfast banquet and giving themselves titles of the old Thanes of Scotland. Reading the play with doughnuts in hand was a unique way of accessing the work of Shakespeare, allowing students to immerse themselves in the story and have a delicious treat too!
