Metamorphoses

Are you game to face your shadows?  
By popular demand, QSE revisit their award-winning production of Metamorphoses, featuring selections from Tales from Ovid by Ted Hughes.

Metamorphoses (or multiple transformations), celebrates the transformative power of human passion and alerts us to the shadows we try to suppress. This vibrant piece awakens the power of ancient myths in our contemporary lives through an exploration of Ovid's best known work. Visionary director Jo Loth returns after her much-loved 2007 smash Much Ado About Nothing at the Roma Street Parkland, QSE’s most successful production to date. Metamorphoses revisits tales explored in the 2006 production under Leah Mercer’s direction and also delves into previously unseen tales. 

The performance features members of the core ensemble under the expert vocal coaching of QSE Artistic Director, Rob Pensalfini, and an evocative live score composed and performed by Gavin Edwards.  Don’t miss this exciting piece of theatre that has been praised by audiences and critics alike.
