Medea

by Euripides

Directed and adapted by Alex Burns

The renowned princess and sorceress Medea saves the life of the warrior Jason and helps him to win the Golden Fleece. Their great romance turns sour when Jason chooses policy and power over love and moves on to a second wife. Publicly humiliated and seized by grief and rage, Medea sets out on a terrible quest for revenge against the men who abandoned her and her children. Quintessence returns to the Greeks with one of literature’s most titanic female protagonists, whose complexity and contradictions has enraptured audiences for almost 2,500 years.
