Boy's Own McBeth is a musical comedy by Grahame Bond and Jim Burnett.
Set in Australia, it concerns Terry Shakespeare, a 42-year-old man who has been a student at the fictional Dunsinane Boys School for 36 years, deliberately failing rather than facing the outside world.
After a season at The Kirk Gallery in Sydney from July 1979, Boy's Own McBeth opened in a bigger production at the Paris Theatre in November 1979. It toured widely across Australia for two years.[1]
A cast recording was released in 1979.[2]
The production also played at the Westwood Playhouse in Los Angeles.[3]
