Synopsis: Great theatre is as fleeting as it is thrilling. It exists in the spaces between actors and audience and is as elusive and silvery as the paths that wind through dark woods of fairy tales. The great thing about Carol Ann Duffy's re-telling of these Grimm tales is the generous energy with which it enfolds each in its own style. Duffy and director Tim Supple go the whole journey with the brothers Grimm into the bright, warped world of a child's imagination.' Guardian | ||||

Synopsis: takes 10 stories from Ovid's Metamorphoses, as translated by Ted Hughes, and adapts them for the stage. This is an evening that stands as astern warning about the dangers of excess and desire: Myrrhas illicit lust for her father, which sees her entombed in a tree like a mummy; the desire of both Echo and Narcissus, which is so strong that it destroys them; Midass foolishness and greed; and Tereuss rape of Philomela, which leads to a gruesome revenge.
