A new look at Shakespeare's play in accordance with the work of the Shakespeare and Schools Project, the National Curriculum for English, developments at GCSE and A-level, and the probable development of English and Drama throughout the 1990s. Cambridge School Shakespeare considers the play as theatre and the text as script, enabling pupils to inhabit the imaginative world of the play in an accessible, meaningful and creative way. Cambridge School Shakespeare approaches the plays in a new way, encouraging students to participate actively in examining them, to work in groups as well as individually, to treat each play as a script to be re-created, and to explore the theatrical/dramatic qualities of the text. The editorial comments cater for pupils of all ages and abilities, providing clear, helpful guidelines for school study. The format of the plays is also designed to help all teachers, whether experienced or inexperienced.

Act Four, Scene 1
* Original Version
MACBETH: Time, thou anticipatest my dread exploits.
The flighty purpose never is overtook
Unless the deed go with it. From this moment
The very feelings of my heart shall be
The firstlings of my hand. And even now,
To crown my thoughts with acts, be it thought and done!

* Contemporary Translation (on the facing page in the book)
MACBETH: Time, you intercept my dreadful deeds.
Unless we act on our purpose the moment we think of it,
The chance is lost. From this moment,
The first impulse of my heart shall be
The first impulse of my hand. And even now,
To crown my thoughts with acts, be it thought and be it done!
