A Poem and a Mistake
By Cheri Magid
Directer : Michelle Bossy
Performer: Sarah Baskin
Production Support : A.M. Playhouse
When Myrrha, a grad student in the classics, confronts her professor over the fifty sexual assaults in Ovid’s Metamorphoses, their combustive exchange sparks a cascade of magical transformations. As literary as it is visceral, and as slyly funny as it is moving, this powerful one-woman play will stay with you for days to come.
