2026 Adelaide Fringe, Adelaide

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.
