UCSB Department of Theater and Dance to Present TOO MUCH WATER

What happens when the roughly 400-year-old ghost of Ophelia, the young Danish noblewoman in Shakespeare's "Hamlet," unexpectedly meets up with a group of contemporary college students?

One outcome is playwright KJ Sanchez's "Too Much Water," presented in a workshop production by UC Santa Barbara's Department of Theater and Dance. The play combines Shakespeare's text with transcriptions of interviews with current students and highly theatrical movement to explore the role of "good girls." Meeting Ophelia, the students find the challenges she faces in Elsinore mirror the experiences of students at UCSB in 2016.

The play opens Friday, May 6, at 7:30 p.m. in the campus's Performing Arts Theater. Additional performances are slated for 7:30 p.m. May 10-14 and 2 p.m. May 7, 14 and 15.
