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.
