OVID’S METAMORPHOSES

By Pants-on-Fire

From the moment we entered the theatre and saw the frozen tableau of WW Two garbed actors—we knew this piece is extraordinary.

Picture Ovid’s tales of transformation updated to the time of the second world war.  The classical myths are now described through music, dance, song, video, puppetry, Le Coq- style  graceful scene   and costume changes.  This is a work of theatrical brilliance—very much fun, yet the underpinning of war suffuses the gaiety.  Unique theatre!
