Lady M

 
Rebecca Vines Review by Rebecca Vines 2 Published: 18 Aug 2020 The Space UK Show Dates: 8 Aug 2020-31 Aug 2020

In Nia Williams’ upcoming new musical, Lady Macbeth is a creepy life coach who takes advantage of the collective incapacity of lockdown to bring her own particular brand of… well… something… to the hunkered down masses.

Lady M certainly promises to deliver on all the disturbingly wild-eyed psychobabble one might expect

Somewhat inexplicably, Susanne Sheehy as Lady M sings, chats to the camera like a character set free from the 2020 panto-season, flourishes a child’s fairy wand with gay abandon - and in every way creates precisely the sort of Tibetan-cymbal clashing nightmare guru that is guaranteed to have me reaching for the gin rather than the therapist’s email.

This is a snippet of a future show from Three Chairs and a Hat, and if this trailer is anything to go by… then Lady M certainly promises to deliver on all the disturbingly wild-eyed psychobabble one might expect if one of Shakespeare’s most emotionally fragile characters chose to set herself up as a purveyor of paint-by-numbers-zen.
