Metamorphoses is a playful theatre piece inspired by Ovid’s powerful collection of myths, written for the beautiful candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse  at Shakespeare’s Globe, by the Globe’s first writers-in-residence in nearly four centuries.

From the everyday to the astonishing, and the ordinary to the unimaginable, Ovid’s  stories explore the power of transformation, the resilience of humans and the wonder of life.
