"Funny one moment, achingly sorrowful the next, Metamorphoses
somehow manages both to lift you out of the moment you're living in
and speak to it with piercing directness." --Wall Street
Journal
"With its emphases on love, loss and the transforming powers of
memory and the imagination . . . the production has been reducing
calloused New Yorkers to sobs." --New York Times
"Writer-director Mary Zimmerman's lovely, deeply affecting work . .
. recaptures the primal allure of the theater. . . . It shows that
theater can provide not just escape but sometimes a glimpse of the
divine." --Time
