Dear Dave,

I am writing to you because you are my oldest friend as have supported me through my directory classes all the way until my first play. I thought you deserve to know what I’m currently working on as it quite frankly is the biggest thing I’ve worked on.  The play I will be directing, and staging is the well known play Macbeth. As you already know this was one of Shakespeares’ many famous plays. Therefore as you could imagine there is a hell of a lot of pressure on me to produce a good show for the public. I thought that I would just run my current ideas before we start the showings next week. Hopefully this will reach you in time and you’ll be able to reply and tell me what is good about it and any ideas you might have.

Since you’ve been to watch almost as many plays as me you know very well that the first scene sets the tone for the rest of the play.  So I think I’ll run by you my ideas for ‘act 1 scene 1’. I wanted new spin on the three witches so they are rich, famous triplets who everybody idolises. That will be displayed at the prologue of the ay by a projector.  There is going to be a magazine like The Sun that has the triplets on the front cover. Then when the play starts they’ll arrive in stylish clothing each wearing different colors. The first witch/sister will be wearing a tight ggolden yellow dress made of shiny silk. The crest of the dress will have a tabby cat. The second witch/sister will be wearing the same type of dress just will.be a dark green color and the crest will be a toad. The third witch/sister will just have a dress that’s pink but without a crest. They’ll arrive in Bugatti Veyrons that are the same colors as their dresses.

The setting they will meet in will be in the country side in a desolate location miles away from any civilisation. The rain will fall and once they reach their positions in an equaliteral triangle lightning will roar and strike the ground in the middle of the triangle. Their hands will link and for a moment or two they’ll close their eyes and be silent.  Whilst this happens a fog machine will create smoke around their feet. Lights will dim in the area around them but a direct beam of light will shine down on them.

After that they’ll start the famous dialogue again. The witch with the cat will say the first line and will the lines will be said in the order the cat, the toad and the blank. The witches won’t
