The Three Witches from Shakespeare's Macbeth. I played one of the witches (don't remember which one) in a high school play and the drama coach put us in gray rags and white greasepaint, which took about a week to wash off. The greasepaint, not the rags. I'd play one of the Weird Sisters all over again if I could look like this. Of course, I don't exactly look like I did in high school.
Think about this as a writer. We picture the three witches as old and ugly because the movies show them like that. But, what if they weren't? What is they were old but pleasant? Young and adventurous? Why are they living in the wilds of Scotland all by themselves anyway? There is so much more to this story than Double, double, toil and trouble. Can you think of the story behind the Weird Sisters of The Scottish Play?
