Metamorphoses @ CSU

Thu 11/11 – Sun 11/21

Every aspect of the play Metamorphoses is about transformation (hence the name). Catch a performance of this play, based on the myths of Ovid, starting on Thu 11/11 @ CSU Factory Theatre. Directed by Holly Holsinger, who was named Cleveland Scene‘s Best Director of 2010.

The scoop, plz:

Adapted by Mary Zimmerman from the myths of Ovid, Metamorphoses is comical, breathtaking, heartbreaking and sublime, and was described by the New York Times as “the place in which dreams and reality, the primal and the particular melt and merge, devastate and console.”

Performing in and around an 1,800 gallon on-stage pool designed and built specifically for the Factory Theatre, Holsinger’s cast of twelve undergraduate students portray characters in nine Greek myths taken from Ovid, ranging from Midas’s golden touch to Phaeton, whose misadventure on his father Apollo’s sun-chariot is dissected in a psychoanalysis session, to the forbidden relationship between Myrrha and her father.
