The UMBC Department of Theatre presents The Bald Soprano by Eugéne Ionesco, directed by Colette Searls with set and costumes by Elena Zlotescu, lighting design by Greggory Schraven and sound design by Greg Lemich. Join us for a night of absurdity at the Smith residence, where guests forget their own names and clocks refuse to tell time. This first of Ionesco’s celebrated absurdist plays wickedly satires the emptiness of life lived by habit. Shoe-tying reveals itself as a bizarre spectacle and showy doorbells ring by themselves as the Smiths and Martins trip through the horrors of disorder and nonsense. Don’t miss UMBC’s unique twist on this classic of the 20th century avant garde.Buried is not recommended for young children.
