A modern, laugh-out-loud twist on Shakespeare’s Macbeth, set in the cutthroat world of 1989 high school politics. Nerdy Mick McKenzie unexpectedly becomes Vice-President of the student body, and with the manipulative guidance of his ambitious twin sister Beth, he sets his sights on becoming president. Along the way, they encounter a trio of goth witches who prophesize Mick’s rise to power, leading him down a dark path of scheming, betrayal, and guilt. As Mick climbs the social ladder, friends and rivals fall victim to their plot, and the consequences of their ambition spiral out of control. Packed with humor, 80s pop culture, and supernatural elements, this play offers a fresh take on timeless themes of power and ambition.
