Macbeth: The Panto
August 7th, 2008
I was all inspired by the Panto that Finn and I saw at Sovereign Hill, it really was good dumb fun. And much as I enjoy the evocative language and outright brutality of Macbeth some students don’t find it fun.
So yesterday we did a little work on writing a panto version of the Scottish Play. I thought we might only get fifteen minutes out of this task but that it was worth a shot. After a slightly slow start we actually worked on it for the whole ninety minutes of a double session. Some of the students were laughing too hard to read out their work at the end. I couldn’t have been more chuffed.
Lesson for the day – give slightly silly a chance.
