WHAT IF MACBETH WAS A 13-YEAR-OLD CHILD STAR? Script and Songs, and Consulting Producer Yve Blake 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. Originally developed with the support of Home Grown Australia.
