Is the world ready for a song and dance version of the life of
Victoria Beckham and her soccer stud hubby
David Beckham? A theater company in Dublin,
Ireland, sure hopes so!
MacBecks, which the show's director calls a "wild comedy
romp," pokes fun at the international supercouple, mixing details
of their headline-making life with various bits from classic
William Shakespeare plays.
“We’re very excited by the script," says Ronan Smith of Long
Road Productions, which is behind the staging of the satirical
sing-song affair. "It borrows from Shakespeare’s Macbeth,
King Lear and Romeo & Juliet."
According to reports, Posh will be portrayed as an ambitious Lady
Macbeth for whom husband David sacrifices his career.
Other real-life characters slated to be portrayed in the show —
slated to premiere in January 2009 — include Sir Alex
Ferguson, manager of Becks' former team, Manchester
United, and Rebecca Loos, David's former assistant
with whom he was alleged to have been more than professional.
