Metamorphosis (from Franz Kafka)

I bought tickets to this production with great trepidation. I am not a fan of Kafka's novella, and I couldn't imagine how a production could hold my attention for more than 18 minutes. I'm very glad to report that my fears were unfounded.

The Icelandic group, Vesturport Theatre, inventively reimagined the narrative so that the narrative tension moves from Gregor's Samsa's thoughts to his family's engagement with him. Visually and musically stunning, as well.

Highly recommend. Really.
