Lee Miller lived several distinct and extraordinary lives, each to the fullest. As Man Ray’s lover and muse, her torso, lips, and eyes are familiar from some of his most arresting photos, but the story behind her enigmatic gaze is largely unknown. After a career as a Vogue model, she became a combat photographer, documenting the atrocities of World War II. Behind the Eye is a poetic portrait of a magnetic, chameleonic woman, as well as an exploration of both the suffering, freedom, and expectation that beauty engenders.
The Theatre @ Boston Court’s new play festival presents plays that are in keeping with Boston Court’s mission, which urges artists to fearlessly and passionately pursue their unique voice and vision. Play selection encompasses a wide variety of genres, with a special emphasis on nurturing playwrights and new play development, which are inherently theatrical, textually rich, and visually arresting.
