  <default_description>Based on Ovid's fifteen volume work of transformation myths, the tone of Mary Zimmerman's drama superbly echoes the play's theme of change as its physical production evolves onstage.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[A beautiful and magical piece of theater that retells several of the myths from Ovid's seminal poem. It is a play about transformation and perception -- a gorgeous testament to how we, as a society, have come to ignore our mythic side despite the fact that we, as a people, have not changed at all si...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/47024444">more...</a>]]></body>
