the serpent under’t

UMBC Theatre presents the serpent under’t, an experimental dance theatre adaptation of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, conceived and directed by Nigel Semaj. Blending movement, dance, and spoken text, this reimagining draws inspiration from horror and the macabre of Edgar Allen Poe. Join us as we explore the shadows of the human psyche where ambition, guilt, and fate intertwine with the supernatural.
