UGA Theatre: Kingdom

Claudia Barnett’s Kingdom is a poetic and genre-defying theatrical experience that reimagines the Snow White myth through the lens of environmental transformation. Inspired by the true story of a Norwegian valley that never sees winter sun, the play unfolds over a century of human ambition and ecological disruption—from attempts to split atoms and tame waterfalls to a radical act of community as an artist conducts sunlight onto the town square. With its imaginative staging and richly layered storytelling, Kingdom offers a haunting meditation on light, legacy, and the choices that shape our world.
