Macbeth
Storyboard Text
- Lady Macbeth: The alcohol that got the servants drunk has made me bold. The same liquor that quenched their thirst has fired me up. Listen! Quiet! That was the owl that shrieked, with a scary goodnight like the bells they ring before they execute people, Macbeth must be killing the king right now. The doors to Duncan's chambers are open, and the drunk servants make a mockery of their jobs by snoring instead of protecting the king. I put so many drugs in their drinks that you can't tell if they're alive or dead.
- Macbeth: (from off stage) Who's there's? What is it?Lady Macbeth: Oh no, I'm afraid the servants woke up, and the murder didn't happen. For us to attempt murder and not succeed would ruin us. (She hears a noise.) Listen to that! I put the servants' daggers where Macbeth would find them. He couldn't have missed them. If Duncan hadn't reminded me of my father when i saw him sleeping, I would have killed him myself.
- Macbeth enters carrying bloody daggers Lady Macbeth: My husband!Macbeth: I have done the deed. Did you hear a noise?Lady Macbeth: I heard the owl scream and the crickets cry. Didn't you say something. Macbeth: When?Lady Macbeth: Just now. Macbeth: As I came down?
- Lady Macbeth: yes.Macbeth: Listen! Who's sleeping in the second chamber?Lady M: Donalbain.Macbeth: (looking at his bloody hands) This is a sorry sight.Lady M: That's a stupid thing to say.Macbeth: One of the servants laughed in his sleep, and one cried, 'Murder!' and they woke each other up. I stood and listened to them, but then they said they're prayers and went back to sleep.
- Lady M: Malcolm and Donalbain are asleep in the same room.Macbeth: One servant cried, God bless us! and the other replied; Amen, as if they had seen my bloody hands. Listening to their frightened voices, I couldn't reply Amen when they said God bless us!Lady M: Don't think about it too much.
- Macbeth: But why couldn't i say Amen? I desperately needed God's blessing, but the word Amen stuck in my throat.Lady M: We can't think that way about what we did. If we do it'll drive us crazy.Macbeth: I thought I heard a voice cry, Sleep no more! Macbeth is murdering sleep. Innocent sleep. Sleep that soothes away all our worries. Sleep that puts each day to rest. Sleep relieves the weary laborer and heals hurt minds. Sleep, the main course in life's feast, and the most nourising.
