Dear Mr. Smith,

I am writing to you to propose a new concept of the famous play Macbeth by William Shakespeare. I am hoping that you will find it has potential, and that your theatre will turn it into as good a play as the ones you have produced so far.

This new version of Macbeth will take place in Ancient Greece rather than in Scotland as in the original play. I have chosen this setting for several reasons. Firstly, the play would be more convincing and better understood by the audience if it were to take place in Ancient Greece, as during that period there were conflicts and situations very similar to the ones that make the central themes of Macbeth (for example, the lust for power, betrayal, and Fate’s role in people’s lives and destinies).

Another reason for choosing Ancient Greece as the setting of the play is that it would have a grater impact on the audience. As you must already know, the Ancient Greek theatre set decorations were very simple, as were the costumes, and the acting was more dramatic. So it would make a greater impression on the audience, because their attention would be drawn towards the meaning of the play itself, rather than the set or costumes. Also, more people would understand the context of the play, since its meaning and message would be clearer.

        It is for the reasons mentioned ...
