Shows
“It’s a brave theatre company that takes on Metamorphoses, the 2,000-year-old masterpiece of Roman literature. Doubly so when the performance is staged by a group as young as the students and graduates of Bristol’s own Hecate Theatre. So it’s a tribute to their burgeoning talent that their interpretation, Fables from Ovid, is so entertaining… Don’t be fooled by the fresh faces and lily-white dresses, this play’s themes make the Saw films look like Dora the Explorer.”
Sam Rkaina, Bristol Evening Post
“Fantastic… the writing and the performances were exceptionally fine and beautifully Ovidian in the blending of pathos/bathos, horror/comedy, originality/allusion.”
Dr. Genevieve Liveley, University of Bristol, author of “Ovid: Love Songs”
