MEDEA
Medea will be presented April 25, 26, and May 2, 3, and 4. Performances will be Friday and Saturday at 8 PM, with a 2 PM matinée on Sunday.
Medea is indeed a kind of thrill ride, propelling us along, careening on the edge of precipices from which we get fearful glimpses of the darkness of human nature. Haunting Western theater for centuries, the Medea myth presents one of the strongest characters ever to appear on stage. This adaptation of Euripides' Greek classic by Robinson Jeffers reaffirms his preeminent place among modern poets. A seminal drama of love, betrayal, and revenge.
The show is directed by Gary Wayne Barker. Set design is by Jim Burwinkel, lighting design done by Mark Wilson, sound design by sophomores, Laurel Kassenbrock and John Clark,costume design by Lou Bird, with technical direction under Bryce Allen.
