The (Business) English Theatre Project presents “Macbiz”
The Play
Macbeth is a senior manager at Scotland Inc., a medium-sized family-owned company, headed by old James Duncan. But Macbeth is uneasy – with his abilities, shouldn’t he be even further on top? His wife is certainly of the opinion that he has it in him to become CEO. It is also the opinion of a group of HR consultants who have decided to make Macbeth their next “project”. But what about old Duncan? How to get rid of him? Spurned on by his consultants and bullied by his wife, Macbeth decides to take action. Will he succeed? How do Ophelia and Beatrice unwittingly aid Macbeth in fulfilling his plot? And what is Hamlet doing in Mrs. Macbeth’s office? To find out, come and watch the (Business) English Theatre Project’s one-hour adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth: “Macbiz”. Free entrance.

Background:
The (Business) English Theatre Project is organised by the RIO-project SWiTCHRT and aims at providing students at Reutlingen University with an additional opportunity to practice their (Business) English skills – by participating in a theatre production. The show on December, 14 is a premiere in several ways: the theatre group was started in October 2009, so “Macbiz” is its very first production, also this special adaptation of Shakespeare’s Macbeth has also never been shown on stage before. And last but not least it will be the stage debut for some of the actors.
