    Buy the Shortcuts to Success book. I have it and I personally think it's excellent.

    If you need notes on other stuff in English (Poetry, Comparitives) then there's Key Notes in English for Leaving Cert. I know for a fact that I'm wrong but you'll find it in school bookshops and it's unmissable. A yellow and orange cover.

    Of course that is providing you want to spend money.

    The Folens book 'Macbeth: An Exam Guide' is excellent. It costs about 7.50 although I ordered it in bulk for my students and it cost 6.

    Does your copy of Macbeth have notes in it?

    I used "Macbeth - Text and Analysis" by Anne Deegan (Blue cover, published by Folens.)
    The analysis in that was very good - I made out most of my own notes from reading the analysis and the text itself.

    If your copy of the text has decent analysis and character sketches, I don't think there'd be any need to buy a separate book of notes.

    Our actual copy of Macbeth is from Forum Publications...

    It's not really well-known because it's new, but it includes loads of notes on each character, theme, etc. It's really good!

    Macbeth in Waterford's been recorded, it'll be on the radio soon.
    Featuring MY AMAZING VOICE talking about Lady Macbeth.
    Watch out.

    Can't get my head around Macbeth at all, notes will help get me through it, but English teacher is arranging for a few of us to go to a production of it in January at UCD

    Saw an earlier reference to a production of Macbeth in UCD in Jan. Anyone got details?

    A couple of my friends went to that one in UCD. They made it all futuristic and stuff, Lady Macbeth had a laptop reading an email instead from a note!
