MAXIM MAZUMDAR NEW PLAY AWARD 2023

When her estranged childhood sweetheart mysteriously dies, Amitra returns to Black Bear Island, which legend says is haunted by a monstrous man-killing bear. As she searches for the truth, the forest begins to engulf the house and her past begins to collide with the present as her memory starts to unfog. This gothic, magical realistic thriller explores regret, the unreliableness of our own memories, and the paths we choose to become who we are.

A Chicago premiere production.

“…an ambitious, psychologically complex play that explores how trauma shapes identity.” – Theater Talk Buffalo
