Metamorphoses
October 1 – November 1, 2015
Metamorphoses
Based on the MYTHS OF OVID
Written and originally directed by MARY ZIMMERMAN
Directed by DOUG HARA
On the F. Otto Stage
From acclaimed playwright Mary Zimmerman (of Chicago’s Lookingglass Theatre) comes this dazzling adaptation of Ovid’s classic myths. A rippling, onstage pool conjures a magical world where Gods and mortals co-exist and universal tales of fate, lost love, greed and death are shared. Tony Award-nominated for Best Play, Metamorphoses overflows with gorgeous imagery and visionary theatricality. This is storytelling at its finest.
Running Time: 1 hour and 40 minutes with no intermission.
Contains nudity.
