Bang, Bang, You’re Dead
Synopsis
A young man lies in a jail cell for having committed unspeakable crimes. Five of those he murdered earlier that day—figments of his imagination, not ghosts—enter his cell demanding answers. When Josh evades their questions, they become akin to a chorus of Greek Furies who torment him, make him re-live events, and drive him towards the threshold of remorse.

Is it unlucky to speak the name of Macbeth in a theatre, or quote from it? According to tradition, it is. Instead it is known as by euphemisms such as ‘The Scottish Play’ or ‘The Unmentionable’. This tradition dates from the first opening night of the play in 1606 when the boy actor playing Lady Macbeth died backstage during the show. Since then the play has apparently been dogged by bad luck.
