SCENE 1
(A desolate moor after a battle, a witches' cave, Macbeth's castle.) (WITCH is already on stage hidden from audience behind the cave.) NARRATOR: The two exhausted armies fought remorselessly like spent swimmers clinging together trying to choke the life from the other. Finally, victory fell to the Scots, with their general Macbeth the hero of the day.
(Enter MACBETH and BANQUO from left.)
BANQUO: The terrible memories of today's battle shall never leave my mind.What say you, Macbeth?
MACBETH: (Confused.) What battle?
BANQUO: We defeated the foes of King Duncan. You were in the midst of the enemy's ranks throughout the fighting. What did you think was happening?
MACBETH: I thought it was just a big rough and tumble game of medieval football against those Norwegian lads. But, the referee certainly wasn't in control, and it was very confusing: fair is foul and foul is fair.
BANQUO: So, it was you who kept calling out for a penalty?
MACBETH: Absolutely, but nobody took any notice... I shared my oranges with the Viking boys at half-time as well. They were a bit fierce, but nothing scares me.

...(Witch suddenly appears from behind cave and beckons towards Macbeth and Banquo.)
MACBETH: Aghh! It's a feeble old woman!
WITCH: (Pointing with crooked finger.) All hail, Macbeth! Thane of Glamis and Thane of Cawdor!
MACBETH: (To Banquo.) I think she's talking to me.
WITCH: And, even greater rewards will be bestowed upon thou. What is it that you desire above all else? To be---
MACBETH: Woo-hoo! To be a masseur!
WITCH: NO! To be King of Scotland, you muppet! (Clears throat.) Oh, and Banquo, thou shalt get kings, but not be one yourself. Okay, it's bingo night, so I can't hang around here any longer... And, Macbeth think very carefully about the implications of what I said. Double, double toil and trouble; fire burn, and cauldron bubble!
(Exit Witch to right laughing crazily.) ....
