If there's a God, which at the moment I DOUBT, I want you to curse
him. If there's any justice, I want them - both of them - in a car
crash. Her husband's gone and her future isn't bright. Imprisoned in
her marital home, Medea can't work, can't sleep and increasingly can't
cope. While her child plays, she plots her revenge. This startlingly
modern version of Euripides' classic tragedy explores the private fury
bubbling under public behaviour and how in today's world a mother,
fuelled by anger at her husband's infidelity, might be driven to
commit the worst possible crime. The production is written and
directed by one of the UK's most exciting and in-demand writers, Mike
Bartlett, who has received critical acclaim for his plays including
Earthquakes in London; Cock (Olivier Award), a new stage version of
Chariots of Fire, and Love Love Love. This programme text coincides
with a run at the Headlong Theatre in London from the 27th of
September to the 1st of December 2012.
