They are speaking directly to the audience, usually revealing their secret inner thoughts. Enter: any parties listed enter the scene. There is no secondary word for entrances. Exit: one person exits a scene. Exeunt: all people remaining onstage exit the scene. Hautboys: wooden double-reeded instruments, similar to a modern oboe. These are used between scenes (will be an SFX cue) Within: offstage. In Shakespeare’s day, they did not have offstage wings but they did have an indoor offstage area. 2 Characters MACBETH––Macbeth is a warrior who became the Thane of Cawdor and then Glanis before becoming King of Scotland. He kills King Duncan after three witches informed him he would become the king. After becoming king he hires murderers to kill Banquo and anyone else that get in the way of his regime. Maddened by his own ambition, Macbeth goes back to the witches and learns that “no man born of woman” can kill him and that he will not die until “Birnam wood comes to Dunsinane.” Macbeth is murdered by Macduff at the very end of the play. LADY MACBETH––Lady Macbeth is Macbeth’s wife. She hears of her husband becoming Thane of Cawdor and the witches’ prophecy and suggests that he kill King Duncan in order to be king. She sees how this decision changes her husband, and she begins to go mad herself. Lady Macbeth begins sleepwalking and tries to clean a spot of blood she believes is on her robe before dying of guilt offstage. KING DUNCAN––The King of Scotland who appointed Macbeth as the Thane of Cawdor. Duncan has two sons (Donalbain and Malcolm) who outlive him. When visiting Macbeth’s castle with his sons, he is murdered by Macbeth. DONALBAIN––Prince of Scotland, son of Duncan. After his father’s murder, Donalbain flees to Ireland. May play the Doctor. MALCOLM––Prince of Cumberland (Scotland), son of Duncan. Malcolm is the direct heir to the Scottish throne. After his father’s murder, Malcolm flees to England. BANQUO––Banquo is a Scottish thane and a friend of Macbeth’s. His son, Fleance, is included in the witches’ prophecy as a future king of Scotland. After Macbeth becomes king, he hires a band of murderers to kill Banquo and his son and Banquo is successfully murdered. He reappears as a ghost at one of Macbeth’s feasts, driving him further into madness. FLEANCE––Banquo’s son. He flees when the murderers try to kill him and his father. May play Macduff’s Son. ROSS––A Scottish thane. ANGUS––A Scottish thane. CAITHNESS––A Scottish thane. May play the Captain/servant/lord. MENEITH––A Scottish Thane. May play servant/messenger/lord. MACDUFF––Thane of Fife. Macduff kills Macbeth at the end of the play because he is “not of woman born.” LADY MACDUFF––Macduff’s wife. She and all of Macduff’s children (we only hear from his son) are killed when Macbeth hires murderers to come to their home. May play a servant/ noblewoman. THREE WITCHES––“The Three Weird Sisters.” These witches predict great things that will happen to and for Macbeth as well as his eventual downfall. The performers playing the witches will, in the CCS Theatre production, also play the Murderers and warriors in Scotland’s army on Macbeth’s side. SIWARD––Siward is Earl of Northumberland. His son, called Young Siward, is a cut character who was killed by Macbeth. May play a servant/lord/soldier. SEYTON––An officer serving Macbeth. May play a servant/lord/soldier. HECATE––Hecate is the head witch or queen of the witches depending upon translation. Some historians speculate that Hecate was added in later productions and may not have been included in Shakespeare’s first productions of Macbeth. Hecate is a cut character in the CCS Theatre production of Macbeth, and scenes are trimmed or cut that included her. 3 About Shakespearean English The English used in William Shakespeare’s Macbeth may be a little difficult to understand at first glance. He wrote predominantly in iambic pentameter, which made lines sound more like music than regular conversation. In addition, Shakespeare used some words that we do not use in everyday life (such as “thy”, “thee”, “thou”, etc.). With some of these words, they will be defined as footnotes for the scene. But for some of the words and abbreviations that appear frequently in the script, they are explained below. Th’ “the” fac’d, compell’d, etc. “faced”, “compelled” these abbreviations just remove the “e” to help solidify iambic pentameter I’ “in” (sometimes seen as i’ th’) ’tis “it is” ‘twas “it was” alarum “alarm” (three syllables) or “symbol to arms” anon “soon” or “shortly” pr'ythee “pray thee” ‘t “it” (usually combined with other words) thy “your” thee “you”, singular object of a verb or preposition thou “you”, singular subject of a verb thane A man who held land granted by a king or leige military nobleman, typically ranked between freeman and hereditary nobleman. In Scotland specifically, he was often the chief of a clan. “kinsman”, generally a friendly term cousin “listen carefully” mark “lord” by your leave “with your permission” withal “with” wherefore “why” fie a reproachful explanation 4 ACT I Scene 1 An open place.

MALCOLM This is the sergeant who, like a good and hardy soldier, fought ‘against my captivity–Hail, brave friend! Say to the king the knowledge of the broil4 as thou didst leave it. CAPTAIN Doubtful it stood; as two spent swimmers that do cling together and choke their art.

But all’s too weak; for brave Macbeth (well he deserves that name), disdaining Fortune, with his brandish’d steel, which smoked with bloody execution, like Valor’s minion, carved out his passage, till he fac’d the slave6; which ne’er shook hands, nor bade farewell to him, till he unseam’d him from the nave to the chops7, and fix’d his head upon our battlements.

I murmured something sympathetically." 1 don't see why the Penguin-books people had to get out Shakespeare plays in the sane size and everything as the detective stories," went on my companion. “I think they have different colored jackets," I said.

    Bollywood Shakespeares from Gulzar to Bhardwaj: Adapting, Assimilating and Culturalizing the Bard Koel Chatterjee PhD Thesis 10 October, 2017 I, Koel Chatterjee, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 10th October, 2017 Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the patience and guidance of my supervisor Dr Deana Rankin. Without her ability to keep me focused despite my never-ending projects and her continuous support during my many illnesses throughout these last five years, this thesis would still be a work in progress. I would also like to thank Dr. Ewan Fernie who inspired me to work on Shakespeare and Bollywood during my MA at Royal Holloway and Dr. Christie Carson who encouraged me to pursue a PhD after six years of being away from academia, as well as Poonam Trivedi, whose work on Filmi Shakespeares inspired my research. I thank Dr. Varsha Panjwani for mentoring me through the last three years, for the words of encouragement and support every time I doubted myself, and for the stimulating discussions that helped shape this thesis. Last but not the least, I thank my family: my grandfather Dr Somesh Chandra Bhattacharya, who made it possible for me to follow my dreams; my mother Manasi Chatterjee, who taught me to work harder when the going got tough; my sister, Payel Chatterjee, for forcing me to watch countless terrible Bollywood films; and my father, Bidyut Behari Chatterjee, whose impromptu recitations of Shakespeare to underline a thought or an emotion have led me inevitably to becoming a Shakespeare scholar.

  • 1 Shakespeare and Film
    Shakespeare and Film: A Bibliographic Index (from Film to Book) Jordi Sala-Lleal University of Girona [email protected] Research into film adaptation has increased very considerably over recent decades, a development that coincides with postmodern interest in cultural cross-overs, artistic hybrids or heterogeneous discourses about our world. Film adaptation of Shakespearian drama is at the forefront of this research: there are numerous general works and partial studies on the cinema that have grown out of the works of William Shakespeare. Many of these are very valuable and of great interest and, in effect, form a body of work that is hybrid and heterogeneous. It seems important, therefore, to be able to consult a detailed and extensive bibliography in this field, and this is the contribution that we offer here. This work aims to be of help to all researchers into Shakespearian film by providing a useful tool for ordering and clarifying the field. It is in the form of an index that relates the bibliographic items with the films of the Shakespearian corpus, going from the film to each of the citations and works that study it. Researchers in this field should find this of particular use since they will be able to see immediately where to find information on every one of the films relating to Shakespeare. Though this is the most important aspect, this work can be of use in other ways since it includes an ordered list of the most important contributions to research on the subject, and a second, extensive, list of films related to Shakespeare in order of their links to the various works of the canon.

Their king was a noble king, who gave his people peace and harmony. And amongst his subjects many were good and true. But none more so than Makibefo. Indeed, it was the king who entrusted Makibefo to capture a fugitive and bring him back to the village. On the way, Makibefo, in the company of a trusted friend, met a witch doctor, who told him that though the king was merciful he was also weak. He prophesied that a time would come, as surely as the tides, when peace and harmony would no longer sweeten the lives of the peo- ple. The witch doctor looked deep into the eyes of Makibefo and saw that the gods had singled him out as a future leader. Makibefo’s wife, too, had understood the ancient symbol: Her husband had been blessed by the gods.
