The old songs will have to change.
No more hymns to our faithlessness and deceit.
Apollo, god of song, lord of the lyre,
never passed on the flame of poetry to us.
But if we had that voice, what songs
we'd sing of men's failings, and their blame. History is made by
women, just as much as men.
Medea has been betrayed. Her husband, Jason, has left her for a
younger woman. He has forgotten all the promises he made and is
even prepared to abandon their two sons. But Medea is not a woman
to accept such disrespect passively. Strong-willed and fiercely
intelligent, she turns her formidable energies to working out the
greatest, and most horrifying, revenge possible.
Euripides' devastating tragedy is shockingly modern in the sharp
psychological exploration of the characters and the gripping
interactions between them. Award-winning poet Robin Robertson has
captured both the vitality of Euripides' drama and the beauty of
his phrasing, reinvigorating this masterpiece for the twenty-first
century.
