Metamorphoses

Based on the Myths of Ovid
written and originally directed by Mary Zimmerman

directed by Isadora Wolfe

Mary Zimmerman’s Tony Award-winning Metamorphoses is a spellbinding reimagining of Ovid’s timeless myths. Set around a shimmering pool of water, this breathtaking production brings to life ancient tales of love, transformation and the power of the gods. From the tragic longing of Orpheus and Eurydice to King Midas’ fateful wish, Metamorphoses weaves together stories that feel as poignant and relevant today as they did thousands of years ago. Directed by Isadora Wolfe, who performed in and served as Artistic Director and Resident Director of Sleep No More, the show presents these enduring stories with clear vision and emotional depth.

“A shimmering surface that seems to flow directly from the collective unconscious.” –Ben Brantley, The New York Times

Winner of the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Play and nominated for the Tony Award for Best Play, Metamorphoses has enchanted audiences with its lyrical storytelling, striking imagery and profound emotional depth. Through a seamless blend of movement, poetry and visual spectacle, this production invites audiences into a world where gods meddle in mortal lives, where love is both beautiful and devastating and water itself becomes a transformative force. Experience the magic of Metamorphoses at The Unicorn Theatre, where ancient myths are brought to life in ways you’ll never forget.
