Review: SHE KILLS MONSTERS at Mary Moody Northen Theatre

Review: BLOOD WEDDING, Chandler Studio Theatre
by Mary Baillie - Nov 10, 2025

Tanya Ronder’s adaptation of Federico García Lorca’s Blood Wedding follows the tragic love triangle between the Bride (Saffron Rae), the Groom (Jude Bain) and Leonarda (Rosie Mackay). When the Bride makes her choice on her wedding night, blood is shed as passion and honour collide in a world ruled by tradition and gossip. Ronder’s version adds a refreshing queer twist to the story, giving new depth to Lorca’s themes of desire and repression.

Review: LET THE RIGHT ONE IN, New Athenaeum Theatre
by Mary Baillie - Nov 3, 2025

Performed fittingly on Halloween, this stage version of Let the Right One In adapted from John Ajvide Lindqvist’s novel and film captures the eerie chill of Blackeberg, Sweden. The story follows Oskar, a lonely and bullied boy who befriends a strange young girl named Eli. She smells like a wet dog, speaks like an old person, jumps unnaturally high, and refuses to eat sweets. Gradually it becomes clear (though never directly stated) that Eli harbours a dark secret. She is some sort of serial killer or vampire - possibly an ancient being trapped in a child’s body who manipulates young boys to help her survive. This is a play of simple language yet abundant subtext. It is not an easy one to stage, yet Finn de Hertog’s production is bloody impressive.

Submersive Productions Brings New Immersive Experience to Historic George Peabody Library
by Stephi Wild - Feb 5, 2020

Submersive Productions will premiere See Also, a site-specific, immersive theater experience exploring Johns Hopkins University's George Peabody Library and other Hopkins library and museum collections. The production is inspired by a?oesee alsoa?? references, a traditional library cataloging practice that links different terms on catalog cards. The simple phrase a?oesee alsoa?? suggests many ideas: from a need to classify the world around us and an inclination to abandon one topic of research for another, to an evolving, feminist understanding of truth that makes space for many voices simultaneously. Like a card catalog, See Also will prompt a variety of complex and thought-provoking journeys.
