Second Stage moves it’s Metamorphoses to Circle in the Square for a Broadway contract. A new play based on the myths of Ovid. Playwright and director Mary Zimmerman weaves a modern sensibility through many of Ovid’s classic tales — King Midas, Narcissus and his reflection, Orpheus and Euridice — to create Metamorphoses, a visually arresting and contemporary new play about the power of love to transform. Based on Ovid’s epic poem of mythology and human nature, Metamorphoses converts Circle in the Square’s theater into a 27-foot-wide pool of water where these classic Roman myths of gods and goddesses, of love and despair, come to life.
