The Social Ladder is a 2026 Australian play by David Williamson. He called it "a satire about our speciesâ never-ending attempts to seek status and fame, and the cost of so doing."
Williamson said "âÂÂIâÂÂm still fascinated by the social dance we have to do through life, balancing our self-interest with our social standing â because nobody wants to be labelled a social climber â and our tendency not to want to hurt other people."
