Metamorphoses: A Play by Mary Zimmerman

5.0

Metamorphoses is my all-time favorite play. Hands down. This play is beautifully composed and breathes new life into Ovid's work. Mary Zimmerman does not use all of the stories from the original, but does an excellent job of re-imagining several of the tales. As an aside, if you are ever so lucky as to see the play - please do. I was fortunate enough to see it when it was directed by Ms. Zimmerman and it was absolutely amazing. There was not a dry eye in the house. This is an incredibly touching work, and I encourage everyone to read it. I like to think of Mary Zimmerman as the Baz Lurman of theatre. Or possibly Baz Lurman is the Mary Zimmerman of film?
