A Questors ProductionMedea
Euripides, Adapted by Ben PowerA bold new adaptation of the classic tragedy...
Medea is wife to Jason. She was instrumental in his quest for the fleece, even killing her own brother. She now lives in exile where she has borne him two sons. When he abandons her for a new wife Medea faces banishment. She begs for one day’s grace. Time enough to exact an appalling revenge.
Amidst the tragedy of Ben Power’s forceful adaptation, we see in Medea “a recognisable human being, alive with contradictions” (The Guardian, 2014). This feminist retelling of Euripides’ classic asks us difficult questions about gender, motherhood, and whether we can ever empathise with people who do terrible things.
