About Medea

Everyone knows how Jason won the Golden Fleece – everyone knows how he became a hero for all time - and everyone knows the part his wife, Medea, played in creating his legend – don’t they? 
 
Erased from the narrative – abandoned by her husband for a new wife and a new life – left isolated and alone in a city where she does not and cannot belong – Medea begins to plot revenge – a terrible, bloody revenge that will send a howl of rage echoing through the ages. 

Written by Kathy McKean (after Euripides)
