YOUTH SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL: SCENES FROM MACBETH
Two dozen students from Santa Fe schools present scenes from Macbeth as the culmination of a six-month adventure in Shakespeare by participants in the Youth Shakespeare Festival (YSF), a project of the Upstart Crows and the International Shakespeare Center.
Students did a close read of the play over several months, learning how to interpret Shakespeare’s language as well as various theatrical skills, including stage combat. The one-night performance features selected scenes from Macbeth and lasts about 90 minutes. The actors will perform in full costume with simple staging.
