Medea by Euripides
2026-11-12 15:00 - 2038-11-12 15:00
Adapted and directed by Jaqueline Youm

Is Medea a vehicle of personal revenge or is she pushed to the brink of insanity to do the unthinkable? Medea is a sorceress who is a refugee in a foreign land with her two sons. Her husband Jason is wooed by King Creon to marry Creon’s daughter and thus, to abandon Medea. This centuries-old tale and its themes of betrayal, misogyny, and revenge still resonate and ring strongly in our modern day.
