METAMORPHOSES
By Mary Zimmerman
Breathe. Conquer. Love. Consume.

Tales from Ovid are presented in all their glory - mischievous, beautiful, savage and timeless - in the Tony-award-winning adaptation that illuminates the power of storytelling.

Join two of Sydney's most exciting independent theatre companies for a fresh and furious take on ancient mythology in contemporary performance.
