Mac and Beth: A Franchise Tragedy
Grease. Guilt. And a golden crown made of cardboard.
When fast-food cook Mac hears a mysterious prophecy through his drive-thru headset, he’s sure greatness is calling.
When his ambitious girlfriend Beth decides to “help destiny along,” ambition and absurdity collide in a sizzling parody of Macbeth—set under the flickering neon of a doomed McDonald’s franchise.
As fryer oil whispers secrets, customers demand emotional support fries, and a rival Wendy’s declares war with its icy motto—“Always Fresh. Never Frozen.”—Mac’s kingdom of ketchup starts to collapse.
Darkly funny, poetic, and painfully familiar to anyone who’s ever worn a name tag, Mac and A Franchise Tragedy is part workplace comedy, part Shakespearean horror show about power, love, and the madness of customer service.
A cautionary tale for anyone who’s ever dreamed of management—or revenge during a lunch rush.
