Overview
I choose to take back my life. My life. Medea is a wife and a mother.
For the sake of her husband, Jason, she's left her home and borne two
sons in exile. But when he abandons his family for a new life, Medea
faces banishment and separation from her children. Cornered, she begs
for one day's grace. It's time enough. She exacts an appalling revenge
and destroys everything she holds dear. Ben Power's version of
Euripides' tragedy Medea premiered at the National Theatre, London, in
July 2014.
