the serpent under’t
An Adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth
Conceived and Directed by Nigel Semaj
UMBC Proscenium Theatre
October 29 - November 8, 2026
the serpent under't is an experimental dance theatre adaptation of William Shakespeare's Macbeth. It explores the shadows of the human psyche where ambition, guilt, and fate intertwine with the supernatural. Blending movement, dance, and spoken text, this reimagining draws inspiration from horror and the macabre of Edgar Allen Poe.
