Step into the modern adaptations of Greek myths with an epic, sensual and bold retelling written by Tony Award winning artist Mary Zimmerman. This passionate tale reimagines classical stories about Midas, Orpheus and Aphrodite, among others, in ways that highlight the struggles and joys of being mortal.
Humanity is at the center of this piece, examining the redemptive power of the ancient myths we have retold for centuries. Gods and mortals alike endure heartbreak, epic conflict and love in this larger-than-life recount. This adaptation brings the classic Ovid poem of the same name to life revealing juxtapositions and parallels between the ancient and the contemporary.
Theatre UCF is at 4000 Central Florida Blvd, Orlando, FL 32816, Orlando, FL.
