Medea.
For more than 2,500 years, Euripidesâs
Medea has shocked and enthralled audiences across the globe with its high-stakes social commentary and its poetic, heart-wrenching feminism. This week, the Alley Theatre brings a free, translated version of the Greek tragedy to the living rooms of its dedicated patrons and, hopefully, a slew of new audiences, with its virtual performance spearheaded by Artistic Director Rob Melrose and featuring Alley Resident Acting Company member Elizabeth Bunch in the titular role.
