Join Folger Institute Director Patricia Akhimie as she discusses Metamorphoses with production dramaturg Faedra Chatard Carpenter.

About the production

Ovid’s classic tales come to astonishing life in Mary Zimmerman’s adaptation where gods and mortals experience love, loss, and transformation.

Juxtaposing the mythic and the modern, the stories of Aphrodite, Midas, Orpheus, Cupid, and others are told in a whimsical and poignant fashion, reminding us of the joys, follies, and heartbreaks of being human.

Metamorphoses was nominated for three Tony Awards in 2002, including “Best Play.”
