A Tragical Macbeth Parody
What if the Tragedy of Shakespeare's Macbeth took place in a modern day Connecticut High School? This is what this parody explores. It started out as a short skit my friend and I wrote for English class. Here I have expanded it into so much more. Sorry if anyone is at all offended. Also it helps to have read the original play. By the way, I do know that "tragical" is not a word, but if Shakespeare could make them up why not me?
Disclaimer: Shakespeare died in 1616, obviously I'm not him. Don't sue.
"It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." – William Shakespeare
Well except for the idiot part that's pretty much true. I was just having fun turning Scottish nobility into American Teachers. It doesn't mean anything.
Names have been changed to protect (mostly) innocent teachers.
