Medea
Guildhall Amphitheatre, London
April 2016
WINNER : The Owle Schreame Award for Classical Theatre
Commissioned by Guildhall Amphitheatre, Medea was performed entirely as it would have been when written, with a full chorus, in authentically re-created traditional costumes and masks, in the preserved underground amphitheatre; the first performance there for 1500 years.
'You couldn't help but be totally engrossed by the foreboding atmosphere as the tense marital situation built to a dramatic conclusion- I feel lucky to have been part of a relatively small group of people experiencing this'
- Juno Rae's Blog
★★★★- 'you felt this is the way it was meant to be, as you felt the power of Greek tragedy'- Notes of an Idealist
