I am not a part of the story you tried to write
I am the story
And it ends when I say so

Everyone knows how Jason won the Golden Fleece – everyone knows how he became a hero for all time – and everyone knows the part his wife, Medea, played in creating his legend – don’t they?

Erased from the narrative – abandoned by her husband for a new wife and a new life – left isolated and alone in a city where she does not and cannot belong – Medea begins to plot revenge. A terrible, bloody revenge that will send a howl of rage echoing through the ages.

The award-winning production of this thrilling Greek tragedy returns, re-imagined, to tour Scotland’s stages.

“Starring Nicole Cooper in the title role, Kathy McKean’s powerful new version of Euripides’ Medea burns with rage and rips at the heart” (Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman)

Written by Euripides, in a version by Kathy McKean
Directed by Gordon Barr
