Metamorphosis

Frantic Assembly’s new adaptation of Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis, a collaboration between Lemn Sissay and Frantic Assembly artistic director Scott Graham, comes to The Lowry, Salford November 14–18.

Joe Layton plays the Chief Clerk / Lodger, Felipe Pacheco plays Gregor and Hannah Sinclair Robinson plays Grete. They are joined by Troy Glasgow as Mr Samsa and Louise Mai Newberry as Mrs Samsa.

Metamorphosis depicts humans struggling within a system that crushes them under its heel. Gregor Samsa finds himself transformed from breadwinner into burden in an absurd and tragic story.
