EXTENDED UNTIL SAT 16 FEB BY POPULAR DEMAND

HONG KONG, SYDNEY, NEW YORK, SEOUL, LONDON

A smash-hit all over the world, one of the Lyric's most successful shows ever is back for a limited run.

‘Physical ingenuity…acrobatic daring.’ ***** Guardian

‘It’s impossible to tear your eyes away.’ **** Times

‘The acting is exquisitely good, the set is a masterpiece and the music extraordinarily evocative.’ ***** WhatsOnStage

'Nick Cave and Warren Ellis’ score is eerily gorgeous.’ **** Time Out

‘This audacious show remains a serious must-see... unspeakably brilliant.’ The Stage

‘Stunning athleticism by Gísli Örn Garðarsson… His acrobatic physicality is a marvel.’ Evening Standard

‘This is a fantastic show.’ A Younger Theatre

Franz Kafka’s celebrated short story sees the unremarkable life of the Samsa family turned upside down when their son, Gregor, emerges one morning inexplicably transformed into a monstrous insect.

Darkly comic and profoundly moving, this hugely acclaimed production combines a mind-bending, gravity-defying split level set, a mesmerising score by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis and daring aerial physicality.
