Upper School winter play features unusual set

This year’s winter play, “Metamorphoses, ”is a contemporary retelling of the myths of Ovid, written and originally directed by Mary Zimmerman. It is a story of the weaving and colliding between gods, humans, and nature to reveal our ability to change and transform. The play itself presented several challenges to the production team and the actors; the most perplexing issue was the central focus point of the playing space — a pool of water. This was a technical challenge, not just in constructing the pool, but also solving the problems of the wetness on the stage around the pool, water temperature, and dripping costumes. Adding to the beauty and mystery of the piece were original compositions by senior Lucas H. '19 on piano. See more photos from the performance.
