MacKenzie
What if Macbeth was a 13-year-old child star? And what if Lady Macbeth was her ruthless stage mum?
Mackenzie has just landed her first TV gig: a tiny part on a huge kids show. Being on TV is thrilling! But being stuck in the background? Not so much. But Mackenzie s mum is certain that her baby spinach was born for greatness!
Everything changes when Mackenzie and her on-set bestie Beau encounter Pickle a geriatric make-up artist who is suddenly struck by a terrifying vision: Mackenzie is destined to become the NUMBER ONE POP GIRL IN THE WORLD.
A hilariously macabre play with songs, Mackenzie follows one child star s rise through the glittering meat grinder of early-2000s fame, backed by a cut-throat stage mum who will stop at absolutely nothing until her baby spinach is number one.
Mackenzie skewers our obsession with youth, celebrity, and the delicious spectacle of a public downfall. Like Macbeth, it asks: how far would you go to get everything you ever wanted?
From the multi-award-winning creator of FANGIRLS, Yve Blake, this is a feral reimagining of Shakespeare s Macbeth that is both a hit of sugar and a smack of cyanide.
