A Poem and a Mistake
A Poem and a Mistake
A grad student's confrontation with her professor over the fifty sexual
assaults in Ovid's Metamorphoses sparks a magical yet terrifying
transformation shattering both their ideas of gender, sexuality and
desire. Actor Sarah Baskin morphs into gods, goddesses, boyfriends,
girlfriends, tricksters and fiends in a whiplash comedy-drama that is
Freaky Friday meets the classics. Through seventeen characters and 120
transformations, this show cuts to the duality in all of us: aggressor and
victim, teacher and student, god and mortal. 'You'll never think of
classical literature again without these women coming into your head'
(Sydney Morning Herald).
