Life In Theatrical Motion

"The play starts with the three witches, deciding their next meeting will be with Macbeth..." The third witch wrote the time and location of the meeting on the minutes and declared the current meeting officially closed...
It would seem drama and enterprise are taking over my life, although come 8pm on this fine sunday, I thought, "Oh shit, I probably have homework due tomorrow." I checked my diary and found I only needed to do some drama portfolio work, so began to write out a summary of Macbeth for part of my research, only to find myself thinking amusing thoughts about the witches keeping minutes of their meetings. Oh, dear brain.
I'm doing a scene from A Midsummer Night's Dream for my class assessment of our Shakespeare unit, but we are required to have a fair amount of research, so I'm researching Macbeth as well. I've studied Macbeth countless times, so it's a damn good thing I like the play. As well as taking drama as a class, I'm full of the extra-curricular drama, so I'm involved in a Shakespeare festival, and am going to be a bag of nerves come Thursday when we perform in front of people. Performing Macbeth. Oh, how that play stalks me.
It's really been great fun rehearsing for the festival, and I think our piece is going to go really well. Our four hour Tuesday evening rehearsals have been one of the best parts of my past few weeks. They're truely hilarious. I'd say you'd kind of have to be there to understand, but you're probably Vicky, so, you kinda are there, anyway, oh fellow pubic hair. Issue there, with set looking like a penis...
I best stop rambling here, and get on with that Macbeth summary.
