In a space between myth and modernity, an outsider in Corinth watches her life rewritten: Jason trades the woman who saved him for power, and Creon offers exile as \"mercy\". With no chorus of citizens to hide behind, the audience becomes witness, jury, confidant-drawn into Medea's fierce intelligence, corrosive grief and incandescent rage.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e McKean's language is contemporary, muscular and lyrical, honouring the epic scale of Greek tragedy while exposing its intimate damage: love as compulsion, humiliation as fuel, vengeance as a force that burns everyone it touches. Medea fights to reclaim her story, her children and the sovereignty of her own heart. Written for a small cast-Nurse, Tutor, Jason and Creon-it builds to a breathtaking, brutal reckoning: terrifying, exhilarating and impossible to forget. A bold, accessible classic for modern audiences.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCast: 4 actors\u003cbr\u003e Duration: 90 minutes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKATHY MCKEAN is a Scottish playwright whose work includes Getting Close, written as part of the National Theatre of Scotland's Scenes for Survival Project, The Present Tense and The Spark.
