Senior Production 2022 - Medea 4 and 5 August 7pm
About
The Stuartholme Arts Department warmly invites you to Medea on Thursday 4 and Friday 5 August from 7pm.The Year 12 Drama class has devised this transformation of Euripides’ classic text, we meet Medea wild with dread and rage after her husband Jason has left her for another woman, a princess. As her head begins to fill with memories of the past, reality becomes less clear. She creates an evil plan that will destroy all, including herself. The audience is positioned as judge and jury as Medea’s memories flood the stage and her unspeakable crimes are revealed.
This reimagining has been completely devised and created by the Year 12 Drama class through Contemporary Theatre techniques such as Physical Theatre to challenge the audience to consider what it means to be a ‘woman’. Please be aware, the performance contains mature themes and stylised death and therefore it is not appropriate for audiences under 15.
