Preparations for the show

Our week could not have ended quicker, by Friday we were already playing with improvised sketches and making sure that we wrote them down. Over the weekend, this was our time to brush up on our character knowledge, relax our bodies and really get a thorough understanding for what would need to be completed Monday and Tuesday.
The official devising process began with those of us who weren't aware to be told the character that we would be playing. The play we were interpreting in our own way was Macbeth by William Shakespeare; this play offers lots of comedic elements within the original plot. 'The play opens as 3 witches plan a meeting with the Scottish nobleman Macbeth, who at that moment is fighting in a great battle. When the battle is over, Macbeth and his friend Banquo come across the witches who offer them three predictions: that Macbeth will become Thane of Cawdor and King of Scotland, and that Banquo's descendants will become kings.'

Below are notes that I took down from my scenes in particular.
