    I posted our version of Macbeth that we staged in the Star Wars universe to youtube.  We also did an Immersive Romeo & Juliet years ago that took place through our entire school with text messaging being a main cause of the tragic events.  We had the audience register sign up for text messages through Remind as they moved throughout the school. Feel free to share and use either in an online lesson or however you see fit.  Everyone be strong and stay safe.  Much love and light to you all.

    Thank you very much for sharing, Scott! I love it when people think outside the box! I know a lot of English teachers that are struggling because Shakespeare is how they usually end their year.

    I teach both Dramatic Arts and Engish at my school. We had just finished Macbeth in my Honors English class and I know they are going to love your contemporary Macbeth. I am ever so thankful that you shared your performance, and especially at this time. THANK YOU>

    This is Cory Wilkerson of EdTA - What fabulous resources!  Thank you so much for sharing.  You all might also like this link from the Globe which re-imagines a Lady MacBeth's monologue by combining it with manga.  https://globeplayer.tv/shakespearelives

    Scott, 
    This is Cory Wilkerson, EdTA's Education manager.  May I ask if I might have permission to cite your video in an online lesson we are building about re-purposing Shakespeare?
    Thank you for considering!
    Cory

    Absolutely.  Feel free to use any videos that I have on my Youtube channel.  I do not know if you remember me, but I attended the Bucks County Playhouse workshops with you this past fall.  Please, let me know if you need anything during this time.  I am willing to help out in any way, including creating online video lessons and content for distant learning.  All the best!
