Metamorphoses: A Play by Mary Zimmerman

5.0

I've seen this performed several times (both in 2001 and this past year), and it's one of my favorite productions of anything. I've never actually owned the script! But all the same.

So much of this play is performance, with the water, and the choreography. I don't really remember if it's possible for that to be anywhere near as evocative on the page. Those things, I guess, aren't, but many of the statements inside the stories are beautiful and worthwhile to read as well as perform.
