Yes! Macbeth in a nutshell and it worked. A mixture of acting styles comes together to make a coherent show.

The flow between modern day and Shakespeare was flawless.

This play has a clever premise in that we actually learn a great deal about Macbeth as we watch this high school troupe attempt to put the work on. We are given a great deal of content and background which is helpful as the actual play unfolds. I enjoyed the significant role that the witches had in unfolding the story.
 
Synopsis
The Scottish Play is an adaptation of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. The play is set on a bare stage where a high school drama group has gathered to work on the set for their upcoming production of Macbeth. The students fall into a trance and begin to act out the Macduff-Macbeth confrontation scene with the witches. With the aid of the stage manager, the student director and Ian--the smartest kid in school, the audience is provided with the details regarding the story of Macbeth.
