| Description |
Medea: Heroine. Wife. Murderer. Mother. Enter the tormented mind of Medea and decide if she is truly a Barbarian or merely just a human. Laura Irish leads the audience on a twisted path of passion, honesty and violence - dissecting literature's most despised woman while challenging mankind's love affair with slighting the very people who give us life. This one-woman interactive adaptation of Euripides' tragic Medea weaves together the actor's personal story of motherhood with the ancient Greek text. |
