22. Banquet Activity In your groups, you will act out the banquet scene using only facial expressions, hand gestures, and body movements to bring this scene to LIFE! All the emotion and action must be conveyed in this way so it must be a little dramatic and OVER the TOP! You may shorten the scene as is appropriate for a wordless performance. Be sure to capture the MOST important parts to fully dramatize Macbeth’s reaction to Banquo’s ghost.
