"...unflinching and powerful..." The Sydney Morning Herald
A Malthouse Theatre production presented by Company B
"The woman who abandons her land, denies her culture and forsakes her family in pursuit of her passion for a man, places an extraordinary burden on that love."
Wesley Enoch's second production for Company B in 2005 is a thrilling modern adaptation of the Euripides' classic.

In this riveting reworking of Euripides’ play, Medea is a young indigenous woman who after leaving her family and desert country behind, finds herself in a loveless partnership with the drunken and violent Jason. When Medea attempts to flee home with their young son, Jason makes her promise that she will never take the child from the house. In a breathtaking act of revenge and sacrifice, Medea kills her young child… the child that was the father’s heart.
Enoch’s richly poetic adaptation blends the cultures of Ancient Greek and indigenous storytelling to weave a bold and breathtaking commentary on contemporary Black experience.
Tickets for this production also available as part of a 2005 Season Ticket package.
