Multiple Award-Winning Brit Playwright Hits London with MacDeth
Hot from his multiple award-winning success in Hollywood, critically acclaimed British verse playwright/director/actor, Ryan J-W Smith, and his internationally renowned theatre company, Rogue Shakespeare®, are delighted to announce the imminent UK premiere of his latest multiple award-winning comedy, MacDeth!
"SHOWS TO SEE - MacDeth! ...lighten up the classic study in evil with a touch of Monty Python" - TIME OUT
Described as 'MacBeth gone wrong' or 'Shakespeare meets Monty Python', MacDeth! (in which Smith also stars and directs) thrilled critics and played to sold-out (over-sold!) houses at the Hollywood Fringe - with many Audience members paying full price to sit on the floor or stand to see the show. MacDeth! was awarded the coveted International Award for best international show. This is the second year running Smith has walked away with the Hollywood Fringe International Award - his 3rd verse play, the multiple award-winning 'Love Labours Won', won it last year with Smith again, writing, directing and starring. MacDeth! was also awarded an Encore! Producers' Award and was nominated for the Comedy Award - and, among numerous other tributes, was named one of Time Out's 'Shows to See' of the festival.
"MacDeth! is outrageous, clever, political, disgusting, hilarious! This show is a MUST SEE! It's brilliant... I loved it!" - Bitter Lemons
Smith penned MacDeth! in just six days over Christmas 2015. Smith puts his unique ability to write award-winning rhyming iambic verse at such speed down to his having written over 1,500 Shakespearean sonnets to date. Smith's first 500 Shakespearean sonnets were published in 2012 in the unanimously critically praised candid volume '500 Shakespearean Sonnets: the diary of a poetic quest for truth'.
