| Description of Event: | This is the Matinee showing of Metamorphoses.Called by Time Magazine the *theatre event of the year,* Mary Zimmerman’s Metamorphoses brings Ovid’s tales to stunning visual life. Set in and around a large pool of water onstage, Metamorphoses juxtaposes the ancient and contemporary in both language and image to reflect variety and persistence in the face of inevitable change. Nominated for three 2002 Tony Awards, including *Best Play*.*Writer-director Mary Zimmerman’s lovely, deeply affection work …recaptures the primal allure of the theater…It shows that theater can provide not just escape but sometimes a glimpse of the divine*. €“ Time*Funny one moment, achingly sorrowful the next, Metamorphoses somehow manages to both lift you out of the moment and you’re living in and to speak to it with piercing directness* - Wall Street Journal |
