Description

Medea is a modern retelling of Euripides' classic tragedy. A woman's life unravels as her husband's infidelity fuels her growing anger and desperation. Trapped in her marital home, she plots her revenge while her child plays nearby. This version of the play explores the private fury that can simmer beneath public behaviour. It asks how a mother driven by anger might be pushed to commit the worst possible crime. Written and directed by Mike Bartlett, this book has received critical acclaim for its thought-provoking portrayal of a complex and disturbing situation. The programme text accompanies a run at the Headlong Theatre in London from September 27th to December 1st, 2012.
