    -> Our finally script! Sorry, I was going to post it on Friday, but I was busy. I put the directions in italic and the lines in bold so it would be much easier to read. And I also corrected some mistakes in the lines, and directions. So don't be surprise if it looks a bit different! I printed out 4 copies for us. This is how it looks like:

    SCRIPT
    Written by: Amy, Miriam, and Matthew

    ACT 1 SC. 7 Lines 69-82

    Lady Macbeth is positioned in the middle of the stage with Macbeth sitting off to the right. The focus is to be on Lady Macbeth. Therefore, Macbeth is to sit still and listen silently to Lady Macbeth. The mood is serious and tense.

    LADY MACBETH:
    (Turns to Macbeth with a serious look on her face, and speaks with a harsh tone.)
    “We fail?”

    (Lady Macbeth pauses, turns towards the audience and points outward, while retaining the harsh tone.)
    “But screw your courage to the sticking place, and we’ll not fail!”

    (She pauses again, walks over to Macbeth, and smirks. Then she turns back to the audience and began to speak in a sneaky/persuasive tone.)
    “When Duncan is asleep, whereto the rather shall his day’s hard journey soundly invite him, his two chamberlains. Will I with wine and wassail…”

    (Lady Macbeth mimics the pouring of wine into a glass cup.)
    “…so convince that memory, the warder of the brain. Shall be a fume, and the receipt of reason. A limbeck only. When in swinish sleep. Their drenched natures lies as in a death…”

    (She turns to Macbeth. Her persuasive and dramatic voice raises.)
    “What cannot you and I perform upon the’ unguarded Duncan? What not put upon his spongy officers, who shall bear the guilt of our great quell?”
