A Poem and A Mistake

Making Strange and Bossy Productions

Solo Show, Storytelling & Spoken Word, Theater

Connect

Myrrha, a grad student in the classics, confronts her professor
over the 50 sexual assaults in Ovid’s Metamorphoses.
Their combustive exchange sparks a cascade of magical
transformations. As literary as it is visceral, as slyly funny as it
is moving, this powerful one-woman play will stay with you.
The piece examines what we inherit from the stories passed
down to us and cuts to the duality in all of us: aggressor/
victim, teacher/student, god/mortal.
