Metamorph: Picked + Mixed

Join us for a night of new writing as Metamorph Theatre presents its summer programme of ‘Picked + Mixed Plays’. From the bittersweetness of tragedy to the fizzy tang of a biting satire, we have something for everyone.

 Seven shows, three devised and four scripted, all hand-picked from over one hundred and fifty applications. Stick your hand in the proverbial paper bag of Metamorph, and get a taste of seven different pieces of theatre all in one night!

The shows, in no particular order:

Them & Us by Matt Sanders:

Metropolitan Police Constables Tommy and Bill have had an altercation with two men who they encountered “importuning” in Hyde Park. But tonight’s events call their friendship into question and their lives will never be the same again…

Ares by Katie Granger:

Ova, devised by New Light Productions:

Choice. In a world where there are 8 choices for coffee, how can a woman be scrutinised over her body? Putting on trial women and their wombs. Ova combines stunning visual physical theatre with an honest conversation on choice.
