Metamorphoses: New Standjofski plays draw inspiration from Kafka

Metamorphoses: Concordia’s University Department of Theatre proudly presents Metamorphoses, three plays written and directed by Harry Standjofski. Students have participated in the creation of the plays from first draft through to production. Metamorphoses, a suite of brand-new one-act plays, centers around the theme of transformation.

Morph is a contemporary re-imagining of Kafka’s great “The Metamorphosis”: Greg’s sudden transformation equally transforms his family. Running time aprox 70 minutes. A humorous, edge of your seat, thought provoking experience.

Love Is Like Water is a contemporary fable of love changing the lives of two unlikely lovers. Running time aprox 20 minutes. A romantic and moving two hander.

Evelyn Lee is the remarkable voyage of Evelyn, from age 5 to 21, from private school in Vancouver to the set of Los Angeles gonzo porn and back. Running time aprox 90 minutes. A non-linear tale, very unexpected twist of a young girls journey.

Metamorphoses plays at the Cazalet Studio from February 11 to 14, and from February 17 to 20, 2010. Admission fees are $10 for adults, $5 for students and seniors. For box office information call 514-848-2424 ext. 4742. The Cazalet Studio is located at 7141 Sherbrooke Street West, under the Loyola Chapel.
