Medea
Visiting Company
Alone and betrayed by a husband she sacrificed everything for, Medea unleashes a horrific vengeance on her enemies, making both assassins and victims of her own children.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
Featuring one of the most powerful female roles in the history of drama, Medea is an intense story fuelled by passion, hatred and blistering rage. Heroic yet deadly, sympathetic yet appalling, Medea’s barbaric actions will stir your emotions as you find yourself irresistibly drawn into the nightmare world of this spectacularly vengeful woman.
Celebrated for their highly charged performance style, Northern Broadsides bring their trademark vitality, directness and energy to ignite the dramatic voltage of Tom Paulin’s gripping new version.
