Description
This production is a gripping story of a mother abandoned, a wife rejected, and the lengths a woman scorned will go to for justice. Using modernised dialogue and spoken word in place of strophes and antistrophes, this adaptation of a Greek classic is bound to challenge our mindsets about women's strengths. Our modern interpretation of Medea is more than a story of a woman scorned, this narrative addresses female insecurities and power in a raw emotional way. It takes a dramatic and heartbreaking story and makes it accessible to more modern women.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

An energetic take on an ancient play, with terrific performances all round, particularly a vivid Medea and a delightfully louche Jason.
