Ask playwright Yve Blake about the rave reviews of her latest show Mackenzie, and she's actually more excited about what the audience is wearing.
"People are really showing up to this experience as though it's a concert, and I am tickled pink," said Blake.
Audiences are arriving at Sydney's Neilson Nutshell theatre in velour tracksuits, butterfly clips, and low slung jeans, to see her noughties-era adaptation of Macbeth.
The play imagines the main character not as a Scottish general but as 13-year-old pop star Mackenzie, complete with a flip phone and a ruthless stage mum named Ruth.
Mackenzie has a modest part on a children's television show, until a make-up artist has a vision that she is destined to be the world's biggest pop star.
