In English class we just finished reading Macbeth and now we have to do a skit based on it in the style of a news cast. I would love some ideas on how to make this really funny and maybe have a modern twist. Have any ideas or websites I could check out?
One idea was to make the three witches in the story hippies and then everyone else conservative people, but I dont think Im really going for that. Need the help ASAP please. Thanks a ton.

Write a scene referred to in the play which occurs offstage, i.e., the meeting between Malcolm and King Edward, the actual murder of Duncan, or one of Lady Macbeth’s earlier sleepwalking episodes. As an alternate activity, write a scene that does not occur but might have. Suggestions: the Macbeth servants whisper about what they heard and saw the night Duncan died; Fleance runs home and reports his father’s murder.

this is my all time fave play! sticking with the news show format, have breaking news updates for the battle scenes; have "experts" give interviews on the personalities- Macbeth, Lady Macbeth - and analyze their actions. have breaking news when Macbeth kills and also when lady Macbeth kills (a funny spin would be to report her crazy actions like Britney Spears' craziness). you can have fun with the story but remember not to change the story (that can cost you a good grade). there's so much to work with! good luck.

the next day and the next day and the next day creeps in this petty %. from each and on a daily basis to the final syllable of recorded time and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the thank you to dusty dying. Out, out short candle life is yet a walking shadow, a bad participant that struts and frets his hour upon the degree after that's heard not extra. this is a tale instructed via an fool, full of sound and fury, signifying not something (appears like the recent Democrat-controlled Congress)
