Medea

Since the dawn of literature, a lady called Medea – best known as the sorceress who married Jason of the Argonauts and the murderess of her own children – has been terribly misunderstood. Though she has inspired artists of every persuasion – Pasolini, Delacroix, Graham, Callas, Sarah Bernhardt and Britney Spears, she still suffers – after 2,500 years – an ashamedly bad rap.

Ryan Landry – Grande dame of the New England underground stage plays the slighted strumpet in his adaptation of the play. He has no plans to change MEDEA’s methods – however he may help in bringing to the legend of her madness that ever so slight breath of understanding she so richly deserves.
