Julliard Drama Presents METAMORPHOSES-A Hideous Mutation

The audience is forewarned: the running time of the play is 2 hrs. 10 minutes without an intermission.  There will be no re-entry upon leaving.  I left after 20 minutes not wanting to re-enter, regretting the time spent.  Perhaps it's unfair to review a production when I couldn't bear to stay- but, what does that say?  The students were adapting Ovid's mythological tales of love, transformation & loss.  The play was a total loss.  This was both surprising & disappointing.  The Broadway play was nominated for 3 Tony Awards, including best play in 2002.  The Julliard Drama students are culled from the finest acting students; future stars of tomorrow.  The lead in B'wy's Curious Incident is a Julliard graduate ('14) & has received a Tony nom. for his current role.  Last year's production of Vera Stark was outstanding.  This year's production of METAMORPHOSES did not show any promise of budding talent.  It was a silly mess.  It look like the students would do a fun exercise with one another.  It wasn't fun to watch.  I can only imagine a few stragglers remaining in the theater for the final curtain call.
