In the iconic photograph, a young woman lies in a deep white ceramic bathtub, only her face visible above the soapy water. She is framed like a saint. Wet, dark hair fans out behind her, flowing over the back of the tub. She gazes at the viewer with wide eyes, her oval girlish face pensive […]

In The Darkest Forest - UMBC

UMBC Theatre presents in the darkest forest, directed by Nigel Semaj. Inspired by the aesthetics of horror films, Semaj and company go on a journey into Shakespeare’s “forest” plays where characters find adventure, terror, and transformation. This new work combines elements from A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Macbeth to explore how the wildness of the psyche is mirrored in the wildness of the natural world.
