This fresh, feminist take on Shakespeare's classic Macbeth is set in the not-too-distant future of Washington, D.C., where Ladie MacBeth, the charismatic Speaker of the House and sex-positivity activist, is on a quest for power. Ladie MacBeth, aided by her magical friends Randy Rainbow, Rachel Maddow, and Melissa McCarthy, navigates the treacherous world of politics, ambition, and desire. But when a prophecy reveals her destiny to become President, Ladie finds herself caught in a whirlwind of supernatural forces, political intrigue, and a complicated love triangle with her husband Mac Beth, an attorney for the Department of Justice, and the President himself.
The Magic of Ladie M is a hilarious and timely satire that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about power, ambition, and the American Dream a world where the lines between reality and fantasy blur, and where female empowerment and sexuality take center stage.
