Medea

About

Pendle Borderline Theatre Company presents: Medea

This new version of the classic Greek tragedy tells the story of what happens when Jason - famous for his adventures with the Argonauts - leaves his wife, Medea, for another woman.

What he doesn't appreciate is the depth of Medea's hurt at his betrayal, so he fails to anticipate the terrible revenge she will inflict…

With its eye on the relative power of the sexes, a play first performed two and a half millennia ago still speaks powerfully to us today.
