The lust for vengeance overpowers maternal love in one of the most shocking of all the Greek tragedies. First produced in 431 BC, Medea has haunted Western theatre for over 2400 years and presents one of the strongest female characters ever to appear on stage. This emotionally complex story “is a study of power and of the operations of power, and of the behavior of human beings under pressure when power squeezes them tight.” ~ Margaret Atwood
