Metamorphosis
American Professional Premiere
by Franz Kafka
adapted by David Farr and Gísli Örn Gardarsson
directed by Mark Jackson
June 10, 2011 - July 17, 2011
Metamorphosis is a masterful mix of horror and absurdity, telling the story of a traveling salesman’s bizarre transformation from man to man-sized insect. Award-winning Bay Area director, performer, and playwright Mark Jackson returns to Aurora, where he directed the company’s acclaimed productions of Salome and Miss Julie, to put his own unique spin on this landmark work of existential literature. Recently performed in London’s West End, Dublin, Australia, and Hong Kong, this adaptation of Kafka’s masterpiece is “the story of a very ordinary family where something awful happens,” adaptor Farr says. “But there is a lot of laughter in among the awfulness.”
