In this urgent new adaptation after Euripides, Kathy McKean brings Medea startlingly close. In a space between myth and modernity, an outsider in Corinth watches her life rewritten: Jason trades the woman who saved him for power, and Creon offers exile as mercy. With no chorus of citizens to hide behind, the audience becomes witness, jury, confidant--drawn into Medea's fierce intelligence, corrosive grief and incandescent rage.
McKean's language is contemporary, muscular and lyrical, honouring the epic scale of Greek tragedy while exposing its intimate damage: love as compulsion, humiliation as fuel, vengeance as a force that burns everyone it touches. Medea fights to reclaim her story, her children and the sovereignty of her own heart. Written for a small cast--Nurse, Tutor, Jason and Creon--it builds to a breathtaking, brutal reckoning: terrifying, exhilarating and impossible to forget. A bold, accessible classic for modern audiences.
