Medea written by Kathy McKean after Euripides

In the week of National Woman's Day Medea is a strong, strong woman. Her Father and Brother both murdered by her actions to save her lover Jason ( of the Golden fleece fame). Only to be spurned by him for King Creon's princess daughter. She is to be banished from the area as Creon's daughter wants her and her sons gone.

The only way for her to put vengeance on Jason is to kill the princess, using a golden cloak sewn by sun light which burns the skin from her body. Then killing their sons, his lineage.

Nicole Cooper as Medea wonderfully captures the horror of her mind, the calmness and vengeful energy, of the woman scorned. This is one of the best performances I have seen of Medea. 

Isabelle Joss as the nurse and somewhat narrator of the story provides the real horror of finding the children dead.

Johnny Panchaud excels as the cheating husband , brought to grief, not for his sons, very much for himself.

As Medea returns to the sun, we can't help but feel she was justified and it was her story!
