Organizers note
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 the contemporary in both language and image to reflect the variety and persistence of narrative in the face of inevitable change.
The work was nominated for three Tony Awards in 2002, including Best Play, and it won Zimmerman a Tony for Best Direction of a Play.
