Dear Bob,

I have just been given the task of directing my own version of Macbeth. I have been wishing this for all my life to direct a Shakespearean play and I finally got the chance. To bad that I couldn’t do a 21st century version of Romeo and Juliet.

Any who, lets get back to the letter.

I planned for the first scene to start with the witches. Although Shakespearean, I wanted the movie to be more modern. So, the witches are teenage girls and the have just came out of school into a secret room in a grave yard. All of a sudden, the girls turn into witches. They go from the prettiest person in the world to ugly adults that can’t get plastic surgery. Then, they get a pot ready to do a spell. After that, they say their lines starting with the tallest witch, then to the medium sized and finally to the small witch. They start cursing a guy that looks exactly like Macbeth.

The props I’ll be using is the following: a bottle of water used as perfume for the witches curse, wigs for when they transform to their normal witch form, a stove, brooms and long spoons and some fake eyeballs and other ingredients witches would use.

I am planning to properly start with the original Macbeth story and then say that they were cursed to look good looking for 7 hours from 9:00 am. Then it shows how the would get their revenge one day.

This can be mysterious but drama full at the same time. I hope you like the beginning of my movie but it’s still a working progress.

Hope to write soon,

Jay
