Ovid’s Metamorphoses
Pants on Fire’s latest actor-musician extravaganza relocates Ovid’s epic stories of miraculous transformation to 1940’s wartime Britain. Theseus – a tormented soldier in a lost land; Narcissus – an iconic Hollywood film star; Echo – a gossipy housewife who’s digging for more than just victory; the Chorus – Andrews-like sisters finding close harmony amid cosmic chaos. Heroics, love, gods, monsters and the secrets of the universe revealed through gasmasks, gramophones, live original music and song, puppetry and film. Dynamic, magically moving and darkly comic storytelling. A change is going to come… ‘Ingenious’ (Guardian); ‘The purest of theatre’ (Metro). www.pantsonfiretheatre.com
