Press Reviews
"A startling production of searing immediacy."
— Newsweek
"Gripping Greek tragedy...in a juicy translation that's made for our modern age...Medea is indeed a kind of thrill ride, propelling us helplessly along, careening on the edge of precipices from which we get fearful glimpses of the darkness of human nature. This production uses a muscular, invigorating translation by the British poet Alistair Elliot. It has a directness, a freshness that makes the play seem quite contemporary...It has an elemental power."
— New York Daily News
"High powered...classic theatre that should not be missed."
— New York Post
"We sit mesmerized...as Euripides gives us a lesson in what theater is all about."
— The New York Times
