MEDEAMEDEAMEDEA by Olivia Buntaine
Classic, Drama, New Work
Runs May 23 - Jun 21, 2025
Olivia Buntaine's World Premiere adaptation, "MEDEAMEDEAMEDEA" rips open Euripides’ tragedy to reveal the woman beneath the legend—powerful, divine, and dangerously overlooked. In this bold new adaptation Medea is no longer just the scorned woman history remembers but a force of nature wrestling with the impossible: self versus sacrifice, revenge versus righteousness, being right versus doing right. With razor-sharp, poetic language that invites rather than alienates, “MEDEAMEDEAMEDEA” dismantles the villain narrative, igniting the stage with fire, fury, and humanity.
