David Beckham along with his wife Victoria has been the theme of a musical. The production of a musical based on the lives of ‘Beckhams’ is going in full swing.
The reporters have highlighted this news on David Beckham. This satirical play namely MacBecks, is scheduled to be launched in the month of January. The company namely Long Road Productions has shouldered the responsibility of producing the musical. Before that it has worked with Riverdance.
According to the company’s spokesperson, David Beckham’s play is inspired from the writing of William Shakespeare.
The company's director, Ronan Smith, commented that “We're very excited by the script - it's a wild comedy romp that borrows from Shakespeare's Macbeth, King Lear, Romeo and Juliet, as well as Cyrano de Bergerac. It will be a musical based on the world's best known soccer player."
An authentic source has thrown more light on the musical. It is said that in order to be at par with the character of Lady Macbeth Victoria Beckham will be portrayed as a merciless and ambitious woman. As being told in the story because of her David Beckham has to sacrifice his career.
Apart from David Beckham and his wife the reel life story will depict real life characters like former England manager Sven Goran Eriksson, Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and Rebecca Loos, the woman with whom David allegedly had an affair.
Gary Cooke and Malachy McKenna are working on the script.
This is not the first time that David Beckham’s life has been theme for any production. Earlier also the duo has starred in another soccer spoof production, namely I, Keano, which used to depict David's former Manchester United teammate Roy Keane and his quitting from the Irish World Cup squad in the year 2002.
The show will be opened at Dublin's Olympia Theatre sometime in the month of January 2009. |
