Unstrung Harpist Productions is excited to announce its upcoming performances of William Shakespeare’s As You Like It, produced in conjunction with the Frederick Shakespeare Festival.

The story follows Rosalind as she flees persecution in her uncle’s court into the bewitching Forest of Arden. Along with her cousin Celia, they discover shepherds, aristocrats, and country folk. The forest is also full of lovers, including Orlando, a youth recently displaced from the court who pines for Rosalind. Disguised as a shepherd boy, she has Orlando woo her under the guise of “curing” him of his love for Rosalind.

A selection of approximately 40 paintings, prints, and drawings from the BMA’s collection explores the role of water and landscape in defining the early modern Dutch Republic.

The water’s edge was a site of rich and often fraught ideas, where environmental, economic, political, and social narratives came to the fore. It also served as a site of immense inspiration for Dutch artists such as Frans Hals, Rembrandt van Rijn, Jacob van Ruisdael, and Salomon Van Ruysdael, among many others. Landscapes depicting harbors, trade, travel, and leisure abounded, as did the production of maps, still lifes, and portraits. Together, these images offer insight into the identity of the young Dutch Republic.

This focus exhibition of 10 works explores the relationship between burning fossil fuels—namely, coal—and the emergence of European modernism. Drawing on research conducted by climate scientists and art historians, the exhibition presents a range of paintings and works on paper by Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, James McNeill Whistler, and others to explore the ways that their artistic practices and style emerged, in part, in response to widespread pollution in London and Paris.
Presented as part of the Turn Again to the Earth environmental initiative.
