Struggles Through GCSEs

A dumb Macbeth parody comic that takes place at McDonald’s done by lesbian-makara and I for our Shakespeare class.

Started off as a cute idea then slowly turned into a shitpost.

Modern, but still Shakespearean

The witches communicated with these weird dances

Then they were like “stop munching” to the audience

and there was this kid (an actor) in the front row eating chips

so they pulled him onstage and used their “powers” on him

he just wiggled for a while

MACBETH WAS PLAYED BY A WOMAN! <3

Duncan was too!

There was so much chemistry between Macbeth and Banquo

like they were constantly slapping each other playfully

Even though he’s a minor character, Ross stole my heart

he was a pure ray of sunshine in a play full of murder

Duncan had an eyepatch

she looked like that character from Doctor Who

Duncan hugged Macbeth whilst Banquo was noticeably staring at the audience because he was jealous

but then he got a bigger hug and he was so happy

btw I love Banquo

He was super energetic and bouncy and fun

Lady Macbeth was still played by a woman and she kissed Macbeth as soon as she saw her and honestly it was great

Macbeth, arguing loudly with her life about the murder: “IF WE FAIL?!”

*sudden silence as a servant walks across the stage carrying cake*

Lady Macbeth, resuming the argument: “WE FAIL!”

Banquo gave Fleance a piggyback for like a whole scene?? My heart???

Fleance tried to propose to Macbeth TWICE but she threw him off each time

Ok but Macbeth’s acting was so good after the murder

Super mesmerizing

OMG THE PORTER

The porter was played a woman in the backstage crew uniform

And when she came on all the house lights came on

So everyone started clapping in confusion thinking Act 1 was done

BUT NOPE TURNS OUT IT WAS JUST THE PORTER

She just made fun of people in the audience that was her whole scene

Banquo visibly went from :D to :| when Macbeth was crowned and suspicious Banquo is scary

The murderers pretended to be maintenance people and they put up a “Road closed” sign

so obviously Banquo And Son have to check it out

Then hhhhhhh… hammer to the back… and head

poor banquo.

Did I mention I love Banquo? HE DID NOT DESERVE DEATH

the party was super cool

everyone dressed up in fancy dress

ROSS WAS IN A BEAR COSTUME

oh ross sweetie

they all played musical chairs

but stopped as soon as macbeth lost

Then everyone froze while Macbeth had a little soliloquy

Everyone except The Bear

He creepily pulled the bear head off

and was Banquo!

He chased Macbeth around the table for a bit

Then Macbeth pulled off the head again and it was Ross?

Banquo jumped out of a table

NOW FOR “ACT 2″

The witches were playing with a load of toys that represented the plot

e.g. toy cones and thor’s hammer from banquo’s death, teddy bear, soldiers, royal dolls, etc.

BANQUO’S GHOST CAME BACK

first of all poor poor ross

He went to visit Lady Macduff and was so lovely to them

It kinda seemed like he was in love with her? But forced himself away because he knew it was wrong? we stan ross

THEN HE HAD TO WATCH HER AND HER CHILDREN DIE

his cries of grief shattered my heart

and then he was terrified bc he thought they’d kill him too

Poor Ross.

I’m gonna admit, I’m not too keen on the character of Macduff

But this one won me over

Maybe because he had this warm, friendly Irish accent

Macbeth used a walkie talkie to scare soldiers on the battlefield

Macduff beat Macbeth using a ladder!

THE END

(oh yeah and ross lived! yay!)

Macbeth: i’m just happy to see you ;)
