Metamorphosis (April 1989)

Mikhail Baryshnikov, Rene Auberjonois, Laura Esterman

Ethel Barrymore Theatre

  In Berkoff’s play, the family assumes greater centrality than in the original. But that too is faithful to Kafka’s theme, for Metamorphosis is also a satire on middle-class values. The Samsa family, accustomed to mundane creature comforts provided by their son, now have not only lost a breadwinner, they’ve gained an obscene, unpresentable pet. What are they to do? With eight actors, some scaffolding and three stools, Berkoff recreates a nightmare world of alienation, a grotesque pantomime in which the audience witness the dehumanisation and eventual destruction of Gregor Samsa, heroically struggling to the last, against greed, indifference and selfishness.
