Metamorphosis

Tour dates have been announced for Frantic Assembly’s new adaptation of Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis, a collaboration between poet, playwright and broadcaster Lemn Sissay and Frantic Assembly’s artistic director Scott Graham.

The new production will première at Theatre Royal Plymouth from September 12–16, before a UK tour arriving at The Lowry, Salford November 14–18.

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

Metamorphosis sits aside Frantic Assembly’s Othello as the second production in their Iconic strand of work which sees the company take on titles that bring with them history and baggage, love and opinion and contemporary theatre.
