A deconstructed modern retelling of a Greek classic, Medea. In this tale, Euripides argues that tragedy occurs when hate become stronger than love. Medea left her family, friends, and country to be with her husband, Jason. He betrays her love by marring another woman. Medea’s plot for revenge includes ending Jason’s happiness and bloodline, which means killing their two children. This stylized piece that incorporates physical composition and movement, and is a highly collaborative, semi-devised piece founded on the original Greek text.
Medea is available through public domain.

But if they rush, it could be a disaster. LUNGS is a smart and funny drama that follows a couple through the surprising lifecycle of their relationship as they grapple with questions of family and change, hope, betrayal, happenstance, and the pain that you can only be caused by the people you love.
