Frantic Assembly has announced complete tour dates for its new adaptation of Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis.
Co-produced with Theatre Royal Plymouth, Curve, MAST Mayflower Studios and Lyric Hammersmith Theatre, the piece is the result of a collaboration between the company’s artistic director Scott Graham and poet, playwright and broadcaster Lemn Sissay.
Alongside Sissay (as writer) and Graham (as director), further members of the creative team have also been revealed. The production will feature designs by Jon Bausor, video design by Ian William Galloway, music by Stefan Janik, sound design by Helen Skiera, associate direction by David Gilbert, and casting direction by Will Burton CDG. The producer is Kerry Whelan.
