Under the Ladder

2012 V36

Z Theatre Company

Superstitions are everywhere. Breaking a mirror brings seven years of bad luck. Touching wood provides good luck. It is even unlucky to walk beneath a ladder. Many people follow the rules of superstitions by the book, whereas others choose to ignore the supposed curses. But are superstitions as false as they may seem? For one cast attempting to rehearse an upcoming production of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, the borders of reality begin to warp as soon as a certain unlucky Scottish play is spoken aloud within the working theatre. What will you find when you walk Under the Ladder?
