Metamorphosis (Lyric Hammersmith Theatre) London Reviews and Tickets

See it if You like surrealism and amazing staging.

Don't see it if You expect a simple theatre evening

See it if You like plays that make you think and reflect.

Don't see it if You don't want to see something where you have to concentrate.

See it if This was brilliant acting and staging. Really thought provoking. The story line is weird but the show was brilliant.

Don't see it if You don't like the story line.

See it if you want to see something really strange, a wonder; for impressive physical theatre; just for Felipe Pacheco's performance (the screaming!)

Don't see it if you want something straightforward; want Gregor Samsa to turn into a beetle like the story rather than a butterfly; hate off-the-wall plays

See it if If you love the books of Frank Kafka this was such an interesting way to adapt the story. I resonated with the way mental health was tackled

Don't see it if You want the play to be exactly like the book

See it if You love clever set design, lighting design and physical theatre

Don't see it if You want to see an amazing costume change into the bug or a clear decisive ending.

See it if you want to see some great projection and amazing physicality

Don't see it if you don't like being shouted at. You want a story true to the original. You like a bit of light and shade. My neighbour left in the interval Read more

See it if you want to see a different interpretation of this story using cool staging and choreography.

Don't see it if The show's greatest merit is its clever staging. Anything added to Kafka's original story fails to capture my interest, personally
