Love, Medea

See it if you're interested in modern views of ancient myths. It starts classical then goes wild reflecting various issues using TV segments and music

See it if you want to support the young players & company; are curious about "modern" takes on classics;like valiant efforts in experimental theater

Don't see it if you prefer a successful new version of the old Greek tale, with competent, classical acting, an understandable script & professional staging

Also This is an exceptionally creative piece of theater, definitely worth a look, with a fine poetic & mythic script wrapped in dance & a single Golden Fleece.

It will totally change the way you think of Medea, & maybe help you see your own & others’ dark spots with a bit more understanding.

She asks, "Am I the mother or the child?"

She struggles "to keep my dead dove from dying."

And despite her evil deeds, "love cascades from my body."

A thoroughly engaging evening of theater.... Read more Read less
