Choose options
Steven Berkoff’s internationally acclaimed avant-garde dramatic adaptation 'Metamorphosis' arrived at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre in 1989, completing a triumphant, strictly limited Broadway engagement. Based on Franz Kafka’s iconic, multi-platinum surrealist existential literature novella, the claustrophobic, textually raw psychological tragedy tracks Gregor Samsa, a desperate, overworked traveling salesman who wakes up one morning to discover his body has inexplicably transformed into a giant insect, collapsing his family into a crisis of economic isolation and abandonment. Directed by Berkoff, the production achieved mythical status by starring dance icon Mikhail Baryshnikov.
