MacHomer
is Miller's hilarious impersonation of 50 Simpsons characters doing
Shakespeare's Macbeth. It is now played for 16 years in 160 cities to
over 500 000 fans!
Bigger Than Jesus
(co-created with Daniel Brooks and Necessary Angel) was a huge hit at
Factory Theatre in 2005, winning 3 Dora awards. The "sinfully funny"

playing in 6 countries and 4 languages.
HARDSELL
is based on the Miller/Brooks co-creation that premiered at Canadian
Stage in 2009. For this Factory reworking, Miller has adapted the
controversial play into a riveting 'performance/lecture' that boldly
examines the commodification of everything and the lies inherent in
advertising.
