Metamorphosis

by Franz Kafka

Directed by Joanna Rogowska

Monday 11^th to Saturday 16^th October 2010

A modern approach to Steven Berkoff's 'Metamorphosis', inspired by Franz Kafka's renowned story.

Gregor has a serious “proper” job and earns some serious money. So what that he has to work crazy hours and he hates what he does. It is a job, not a hobby, so as long as it pays well, you don’t have to love what you do.

But one day Gregor decides to see what it would be like to just be yourself and do what you like.

So what does his family think when he has transformed into a gigantic beetle-like insect?
