  This title provides a version of Macbeth - transposed to the football field. MacB, with the help of his friend Banksie, plans to supplant Duncan King as the star striker in their school football team. A nasty bike accident puts Duncan out of the game and gives MacB his chance. But Banksie becomes suspicious about the accident - just where was MacB at the time and how far would he go when urged on by his formidable mother? The action of the play is worked through as MacB's ambitions sour and crumble on the football pitch.
