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.
