Liverpool theatre group Burjesta Theatre tackle arguably one of the most shocking plays of all time this March and April in Euripides Classical Greek Tragedy Medea.
Written in 431BC, Medea is a truly subversive play which has shocked and divided audiences for the last 2,500 years and now Burjesta Theatre bring the tale of Jason, of the Argonauts fame, and his abandonment of his lover in favour of the King’s daughter and the terrible repercussions that follow.
Burjesta Theatre invites audiences to watch as Medea schemes and plots the most terrible of revenge.
With a cast of 16 and featuring an eight-strong all women Greek Chorus and two child actors, Jonathon Bibby’s original adaptation is not to be missed.
