What would you do if betrayal left you with nothing? Medea opens Aug. 28

About This Event

The Upstart Crow Theatre Company opens its 45th season with Medea, Euripides’ searing tragedy of betrayal and revenge. This adaptation by Katherine Dubois Reed brings the ancient story back to life as it was meant to be—spoken aloud, urgent and raw. Medea is one of the most enduring—and haunting—tragedies of the ancient Greek stage. When Jason abandons her to marry the daughter of King Creon, Medea’s devastation transforms into fury, leading her to seek vengeance at any cost. Audiences may not agree with Medea’s choices, but they’ll understand why she made them—and that’s what makes her story so unsettling. Performances are Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:00pm and Sundays at 2:00pm. Tickets are $24–$28, with Name-Your-Price Nights on Thursday, August 28, and Thursday, September 11.
