Presents:
Mary Zimmermann’s play Metamorphoses is a funky, modern take on nine original Greek myths as assembled by Ovid. Whether it is Eros getting it on with Psyche, Phaeton moaning to his therapist about his dad Apollo, or Poseidon unleashing "one enormous green catastrophe", the stories will be familiar, with element of comedy and romance as well as tragedy, surrounding the central theme of change - metamorphoses. This is supported through a pool forming the centre of the stage and underlining the changes within the individual stories, by making use of the element of water. And remember, everything will be good as long as the gods are pleased.
The Postgraduate Group of the New Theatre is set up to make it easier for PG Students to get involved. That means above all that we will spread out the preparation time for the play to most of the academic year to avoid the typical concentrated time commitments necessary for theatre. If you want to get involved in the PG Group, in whatever capacity (acting, directing, production stagecraft, etc...) email postgrad@newtheatre.org.uk. If you want to get involved in the regular production schedule check out the rest of this website for details.
