Medea

I love reading other people’s reviews/reactions, so I’m going to try writing them more often. I’ll need to work up to books, but I can do theatre :) I saw Medea a little while ago at Soho Place, and it was brilliant. Stylistically, the play felt very similar to how it would’ve been at the time; it was performed in the round, a la ampitheatre, with a bare minimum of props. The declamatory style was, naturally, a radical contrast to anything I’ve seen on stage recently.

I went in knowing nothing more than ‘Medea kills her children as vengeance on her husband’. ( cut for details )
