The British Council is working on creating a crowd-sourced Macbeth to celebrate Shakespeare Lives in Schools Day!
We would like to invite you to take part by sharing this initiative and be part of a truly special global moment during Shakespeare’s 400th anniversary year.
Schools are invited to send us their creative creative responses to Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Using the supporting documents provided, they may choose a scene or a key speech from the play and capture it or perform it in any way they like. It can be an illustrated quote, an audio clip or film, a freeze frame of a scene, a short video, or even a photo of students performing on stage.
Contributions may be sent to us at the email address below in any language of choice for a chance to be included in the final short film.
Please send contributions to [email protected] by 31 October 2016.
If email is larger than 3MB, please send files using the free file sharing website: www.wetransfer.com.
Remember to include completed consent forms.
The final film will be revealed on Shakespeare Lives in Schools Day, Friday 2 December 2016 and made available for you to screen at your school. If your contribution makes the cut, the name of your school will be in the credits!

· A summary of Macbeth
