Written entirely in rhyming iambic pentameter, Ryan J-W Smith's multiple award-winning comedy 'MacDeth!' lovingly parodies Shakespeare's MacBeth while asserting itself as a modern verse comedy classic in its own right. MacDeth! received nothing but glowing adulation from critics and audiences at its world premiere at the recent 2016 Hollywood Fringe Festival. Such was its popularity, many audience members paid full price to squeeze into the over-sold auditorium just to sit on the floor or stand to see the show. It was no surprise when MacDeth! won the coveted Hollywood Fringe International Award for best international show. This is the second year running Smith was awarded the prize - his third verse play, the multiple award-winning 'Love Labours Won', won it in 2015 with Smith again writing, directing and starring. Among countless other accolades, MacDeth! was also awarded an Encore! Producers' Award and was nominated for the Comedy Award.
