By Mary Zimmerman Based on David R. Slavitt's translation of The Metamorphoses of Ovid

Metamorphosis: a transformation, as if by magic. Transformation is the theme of this collection of Greek myths told and originally directed by Mary Zimmerman. She adds contemporary humor and language to this ancient theme and then sets it all in a pool of water. This pool reflects our strengths and our weaknesses, our thoughts, actions, desires and passions. Two thousand year old words can speak clearly to us today. Perhaps we can transform and understand the truly important things in life.
