The witches also play servants and messengers and attendants throughout.

 

From script notes: These girls have a Macbeth club. They agree to meet in an abandoned field after school to “do” the play. Each has learned her part. The playing style is modern, quick, unaffected—the girls never pretend to be boys—they are, however, fully committed and present in the stakes of the characters they inhabit. They believe so fully in character that they are capable of losing themselves.

NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR: One of the most enticing things about Schmidt’s adaptation is the playground she’s created for the savageness that is young womanhood and the teenage ambition. As you explore this 400 plus year old text, ask yourself ‘how I can weaponize these words to vanquish my enemies and become prom queen?’ (or whatever Regina George-esque coup you’d like to insert.) The seduction of power is intoxicating and strong enough to drive both Mackers and the girls. Looking forward to seeing your work!
