MEDEA

Euripides’ Medea is a Greek tragedy made famous by the unbelievable act of filicide. It is the story of a woman so fearful of her impending exile and statelessness that she chooses to destroy that which she loves - her children. This tragedy, written in 431 BC continues to be told because human history has created and destroyed several such women - several versions of Medea - whose fear of exile, safety, and the lives of their children are driven to the most extreme actions. Even today. Performed as a solo, this production of Medea tells the story of the despairing, the hopeless, the enraged, the survivor, and the great lengths one may go to, to find a place called home.
