Never Say Macbeth
- Synopsis
- Low-budget feature film. An Indie ghost comedy. Danny Teller (Gold), is a high school science teacher from Toledo who travels to Los Angeles to find his girlfriend, Ruth (Kira) who has gone there to seek her fortune. He goes for an audition for Macbeth in which Ruth is playing Lady Macbeth. But the director mistakes Danny’s story of love for a passionate acting monologue, and casts him as Witch 1. Danny struggles with rehearsals, and incurs the wrath of the cast when he breaks the cardinal rule of acting by saying "Macbeth" in the theatre. The things get weird - lights fall, fruit floats, and freaky ghosts start singing show tunes. Danny teams up with a new-age actress, a tough Italian self-help guru, and a sci-fi obsessed stage manager to save the actors and his ex-girlfriend from the curse of Macbeth.
