Medea (NHB Classic Plays)

Medea (NHB Classic Plays)

by Liz Lochhead (Author)

Synopsis

Liz Lochhead's stunning new version of Medea is the kind of interpretation--brave, visionary, risky--that blows a well-known text apart and reassembles it in a completely new light... What Lochhead does is to recast Medea as an episode--ancient but new, cosmic yet agonizingly familiar--in a sex war which is recognizable to every woman, and most of the men, in the theatre... --The Scotsman
