What if Macbeth was a 13-year-old child star?

From Yve Blake - the award-winning creator of Fangirls – a hilarious, twisted reimagining of Shakespeare's Macbeth.

Mackenzie is 13 and she's booked her first-ever TV gig: a tiny part on a huge kids show. It's a small start, but Mackenzie's mum has always felt sure that her baby was destined for superstardom. One day, Mackenzie and her best on-set friend Beau encounter a geriatric make-up artist who is struck with a vision: that Mackenzie will be number one pop girl of the world.

Directed by Virginia Gay, this hilariously macabre play (with songs) charts Mackenzie's rise to fame fuelled by a cut-throat stage mum who will stop at absolutely nothing. Set in the heights of early 2000s TV stardom, prepare for a wild ride that will leave you in stitches… and deeply disturbed.
