Beneath The Bed Productions
“AT THE ALTAR” IS UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF SIX DEGREES FESTIVAL, 2024. THE SIX DEGREES FESTIVAL IS SUPPORTED BY TE HERENGA WAKA—VICTORIA UNIVERSITY OF WELLINGTON. IT PROVIDES PATHWAYS FOR STUDENTS FROM THE MASTER OF FINE ARTS (CREATIVE PRACTICE) IN THEATRE TO BECOME PROFESSIONAL THEATRE MAKERS.
Wedding preparations are stressful. That’s to be expected. But when Laurel gets a midnight plea for help from her sister Daphne, she makes the cross country trip at the drop of a hat. What greets her are gardens that seemingly stretch forever and the news that Daphne is missing. With only days until the wedding, Laurel takes it upon herself to find her dear little sister. But something lurks in the manor’s walls, eyes watch unseen and ghosts of the past aren’t willing to stay buried. Will Laurel be reunited with her little sister or will the Barker Estate swallow her whole?
