No Fear Shakespeare: Macbeth
EurasianRob for Macbeth
Macbeth is (obviously) the main character of Macbeth. Although beginning the play as a noble and good person, after being corrupted by power and ambition, he becomes an evil and tyrannical ruler. Loves to monologue.
His voice should be probably mid-low range. Otherwise, anything is fine.
A good knowledge of the original script would be advised, as the No Fear Shakespeare script is not great at conveying the original emotions, so knowing what the dialogue is supposed to sound like would be a good idea.
(Entranced) Is this a dagger I see in front of me, with its handle pointing toward my hand? (to the dagger) Come, let me hold you. (he grabs at the air in front of him without touching anything) I don’t have you but I can still see you. Fateful apparition, isn’t it possible to touch you as well as see you? Or are you nothing more than a dagger created by the mind, a hallucination from my fevered brain? I can still see you, and you look as real as this other dagger that I’m pulling out now.
(Horrified at what he's done) Will all the water in the ocean wash this blood from my hands? No, instead my hands will stain the seas scarlet, turning the green waters red.
(Angry) May the devil turn you black, you white-faced fool! Why do you look like a frightened goose?
