We are happy to announce that PhD student, V. Sophie Klein, is among the winners in a national competition for a production at the Manhattan Repertory Theatre in New York. Her play, The Spitting Image, is a story of metamorphosis, inspired by the myths of "Pygmalion & Galatea" and "Orpheus & Eurydice." A painter and his model use another to access the dark secrets hidden in her portrait. It's a journey of self-discovery through the reflection of art.
