Time Out
"as arresting visually as it is aurally"
"viewed more as an installation than what we British tend to think of as theatre, this can be seen as intelligent, European-style dramaturgy"
"This ongoing collaboration between the Gate and Headlong confirms both as invaluable agents of experiment and intelligent innovation."

Apadted & Directed by DYLAN TIGHE

MEDEA exists as one of the primal myths of Western civilisation - the wronged everywoman. Inspired by previous reworkings of the myth from Euripides to Von Trier, Dylan Tighe explores this essential narrative using the very latest stage technologies.
