Adaptations

Metamorphosis Ben Ellis , 2005 single work drama 'This play is set in the idealised suburb of Sanctuary Vale, forty minutes from anywhere. Gregor Samsa has just awoken from a night of uneasy dreams to find himself transformed into a giant beetle.' www.sydneytheatre.com.au/stcenews/2005/october.html (Sighted 05/10/2005)
Cockroach Melita Rowston , 2019 single work drama

'An amoral revenge tale for the #MeToo generation, 'Cockroach' is a blackly comic prose-poem/grunge-cabaret about female anger.

'When C wakes from a nightmare she finds herself transformed into a monstrous vermin. For too long she's yearned to behave badly. Tonight's her night of reckoning!

'Disrupting Kafka and Ovid's Metamorphoses 'Cockroach' explores the silencing following abuse and the transformations that occur from it. Featuring a live score on drums, keys and Fender Strat it's an anthem for our times: furious, funny and hopeful.'
