UPDATE: Please see corrected times for the launch of Macbeth! Also, we will be honoured with the lovely voice of Paisley Beebe entertaining us on the day. Hope to see lots of friends there
It is my pleasure to announce the grand launch and opening of our new Second Life sim, Macbeth (SLURL: here).
This is a project I have been working on since March. The project, Foul Whisperings, Strange Matters: Shakespeare’s Macbeth in Second Life is a collaboration designed by Angela Thomas (virtual worlds content designer), Kerreen Ely-Harper (director) and Kate Richards (producer).
Funding was provided by Literature Board of The Australian Council for the Arts , and investor partner, the New Media Consortium (full credits)

The island is accompanied by a wiki and the page labelled island guide describes the island and some of our design choices. On the wiki we have also started a collection of teaching resources for the use of the sim and also for teaching Macbeth in general.
Please feel free to join the sim, the Macbeth group in world, and the Virtual Macbeth flickr group. Contact me in Second Life if you want a private tour – Anya Ixchel.
Full press releases coming soon
