Fuel presents Metamorphosis

The unremarkable life of the Samsa family was turned upside down when their son, Gregor, emerged one morning inexplicably transformed into a monstrous insect…

This hugely acclaimed production from the Lyric’s Artistic Director, David Farr, and the brilliant Icelandic company Vesturport, combined a mind-bending, gravity-defying split-level set, a mesmerising score by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis and daring aerial action.

Metamorphosis was the first show Fuel produced at the Lyric Hammersmith in 2006, and went a return run and an UK tour. It has since gone on a major international tour including dates at Sydney Theatre and BAM in New York.

Produced by Kate McGrath
