Slime by Bryony Lavery at UMBC Proscenium Theatre

UMBC Theatre presents the American premiere of Slime by Bryony Lavery, directed by Nigel Semaj.

Welcome to the Third Annual Slime Crisis Conference! Seven grad students, all fluent in animal languages, linguistics, and culture, join delegates of almost every species to save life on earth from a toxic slime. As they debate and translate for dolphins, seabirds, and polar bears, they ask, “Who is coming to save us?” The answer might surprise you….
