About the show
Mac Beth passionately pursues the coveted title of Year 12 Netball Captain of the Dunsinane Hell-Hounds. Expect a grippling tale of ambition, betrayal, and redemption as Coach Duncan's decisions spark a fierce battle for leadership. Amid accusations and hilarious plot twists, Mac's determination leads her to the brink of glory. But her reckless actions take her to the edge of despair, creating suspicion and fear among her teammates. As alliances shift and friendships fracture, a climactic showdown awaits the netball battlefield. Will Mac's relentless drive for success ultimately lead to her triumph, or banishment?
In a thrilling Shakespearean twist on the netball court, Lady Macbeth Played Wing Defence delves deep into the dangerous realms of unchecked ambition while highlighting the fierce determination and competitive spirit of teenage girls on the netball court. Think Dreamgirls but Mean Girls, this energetic production breathes new life into a literary classic. It is also fuelled by a soundscape underpinned by electronic pop-synth compositions created by award-winning vocalist, DJ, music producer, and finalist for the Australian Women in Music Awards, Project BEXX.
This show marks CRASH's next big step into the national landscape. Led by co-directors Ana Ferreira Manhoso and Courtney McManus, the show is set to reignite conversations on several stages across the globe. We are a catalyst for the crusade of gender equality, inviting audiences not just to an electrifying multidisciplinary experience, but the emotional journey of sisterhood; reinforcing the vision for a more inclusive, diverse, and equitable future for women in sports.
