Metamorphoses by Mary Zimmerman (not to be confused with Metamorphosis by Kafka!) is a collection of stories from Ancient Romans told from a distinctly modern point of view. Zimmerman used both classical and modern texts to create a show that emphasizes ensemble storytelling, different perspectives, and movement.
With source material from Ovid to Rainer Maria Rilke (Letters to a Young Poet). The Broadway production made a pretty big splash when it premiered and was nominated for 3 Tony Awards, including Best Play, and won Best Direction of a Play. Perhaps obviously, Metamorphoses is about change--how people can change dramatically for the better (and sometimes for the worse) because of new circumstances, opportunities, or challenges, but just as often simply because of a new point of view.
The show's content is appropriate for an audience in first grade and older.
