About the production

Following Tess their hugely successful adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s novel, (“full of joy, wonder and delight” The Guardian ★★★★) Ockham’s Razor return with Greed a Greek tale made flesh.

Based on Ted Hughes’ translation of Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Greed is the tale of a king who hungers to be more revered than the gods. After chopping down a sacred grove to Demeter he is cursed with a maddening hunger. However much he consumes he can never be satisfied.
Fusing acrobatics, dance, storytelling and illusion Greed is a beautiful yet gut wrenching show about retribution and salvation and whether you can save people, and the world, from their worst impulses.
