The Metamorphosis, playing at the Joyce Theatre, was an innovating and riveting interpretation of the famous story written by Franz Kafka. In the performance, boring and lifeless Gregor Samsa, portrayed by Edward Watson, transforms into a cockroach forcing him to deal with the turmoil of a bug’s life, destroying his family along the way. The performance was a unique portrayal of the story with small similarities to the precise details of the book. Similarly, the characters I once hated drew me in while others caused different and new feelings. Overall, I thought the play was an interesting attempt to put the viewers into the mind of a man-turned cockroach without using words and Arthur Pita and Frank Moon succeeded in doing so.
