Overview

Deaf to the warnings of her nurse and chorus, grief-stricken Medea seeks solace in destroying Jason, her unfaithful husband. She ruthlessly severs her husband’s lineage only to find herself “alone and forsaken” alongside the man she condemned to desolate solitude. A condensed adaptation of the classic tragedy that effectively explores Medea’s disjointed psyche within the context of ancient Greek values.
