New Epic Theater presents: Euripedes’ Medea  May 13 – 27

One of world drama's most infamous characters is brought to controversial new life in this shockingly relevant take on an ancient tragedy. Medea’s marriage is breaking up. And so is everything else. The ancient Greek tragedy of a woman taking vengeance on the husband who’s left her is updated for the current era. Exploring the limits of revenge and freedom, Euripides’ play cuts to the heart of gender politics and asks: "What does it mean to be a woman and a wife?" Michelle O’Neill plays the title role with Mark Benninghofen as Jason.

You're invited to stay for a post-show discussion following every performance. General admission $32.
