         Bug Boy Blues
Bug Boy Blues

Synopsis:
children's play inspired by Kafka's Metamorphosis. the following description is from the show's press release: "Bug Boy Blues is a fantastical journey into the mind of a young Gregor Samsa, who struggles to understand his family and make friends. 'Grade school is a horrible place,' Gregor says to the play's guide, Butterfly Girl, just before they take a ride through time to show us what it is like to be ten years old and feel invisible. Gregor faces many challenges as a young boy, and finds solace in the bug world: a place to escape the 'hustle-and-bustle' of life, freaky parents, and of course a school of kids who just don't understand. Bug Boy Blues is a play for all ages loosely based on Kafka."
