Medea's Got Some Issues
Synopsis:
Medea reinvented as a laugh-out-laugh farce? Well, hell hath no funny like a woman scorned! More than 2,400 years after the premiere of her tragedy, Medea presents, without inhibition, the mitigating and sordid factors surrounding her infamous case: from the sexual haste of her husband to the misogynistic and xenophobic environment of Classical Corinth. Poetic justice was never this hilarious!
