Ovid’s classic stories of the loves, losses, and transformations of gods and mortals are reimagined for the 21st century in Mary Zimmerman’s adaptation.
Juxtaposing the mythic and the modern, the stories of Aphrodite, Midas, Cupid, and others are told in a whimsical and poignant fashion, reminding us that the joys, follies, and heartbreaks of being human are universal.
Metamorphoses was nominated for three Tony Awards in 2002, including “Best Play.”
Folger Theatre is at 201 E Capitol Street SE , Washington, DC.
