Long Road Productions Seek Actors for 'MacBecks'

LONG ROAD PRODUCTIONS
'MACBECKS'
CASTING INFORMATION
Show Description
The story is a take on David and Victoria Beckham, whose media profile remains very high, and the broad comedy approach of MACBECKS is aimed at a large populist audience. It takes place in a pseudo-Shakespearean world, loosely mirroring elements of their lives, but is essentially a fantastical and satirical romp.
