This play, which was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Play, is based on a famous collection of transformation myths – Metamorphoses (“Book of Transformations”) – by the Roman poet Ovid (43 BC – 18 AD). Zimmerman created the show to blend the ancient stories of pathos and tragedy with contemporary language, humor and thought. This show offers a new way to understand and emphasize the transforming powers of memory and the imagination. The play expresses poignantly the themes of love, loss, dreams, fidelity, faith and the inevitability of change.
