Description

'She's chucked out like an old coat that nae langer fits him…'Medea and Jason, clinging together as refugees in Corinth, have struggled to bring up their beloved offspring in this alien and unsympathetic society.

Now Jason has a plan to better integrate himself. Unfortunately, this involves abandoning his wife, the mother of his children…Spurned, destitute, desperate, Medea exacts her terrible retribution. Liz Lochhead's Scots-inflected version of Euripides' classic revenge tragedy was first performed by Theatre Babel in 2000 and won the Saltire Society Scottish Book of the Year Award.

It was revived by the National Theatre of Scotland as part of the 2022 Edinburgh International Festival, with Adura Onashile as Medea, directed by Michael Boyd.
