Medea

“I am not a part of the story you tried to write
I am the story
And it ends when I say so”

Everyone knows how Jason won the Golden Fleece - everyone knows how he became a hero for all time - and everyone know the part his wife, Medea, played in creating his legend - don't they?

Erased from the narrative - abandoned by her husband for a new wife and a new life - left isolated and alone in a city where she does not and cannot belong - Medea begins to plot revenge - a terrible, bloody revenge that will send a howl of rage echoing through the ages.

The award-winning production of this thrilling Greek tragedy returns re-imagined to tour Scotland's stages.
