WHAT IF MACBETH WAS A 13-YEAR-OLD CHILD STAR?
(A camp, dark and deranged retelling)
The award-winning creator of FANGIRLS, Yve Blake, premieres her new work – a hilarious, twisted, and deeply camp reimagining of Shakespeare’s Macbeth.
World premiere
Script and Songs, and Consulting Producer Yve Blake
Directed by Virginia Gay
Designed by Keerthi Subramanyam
Lighting Design by Kelsey Lee
Sound Design by Tom Lowndes
Choreography by Elle Evangelista
Originally developed with the support of Home Grown Australia
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 daughter 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 the electric 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.
