Medea is one of the most enduring—and unsettling—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.
This adaptation returns Medea to its roots: a work meant to be spoken aloud, gripping audiences in real time, just as it would have in ancient Greece.
This version keeps the intensity and poetry of the original, while shaping it for modern ears. The production also features original music composed specifically for this adaptation.
Please note: Medea is not suitable for children.
The Upstart Crow Theatre Company has been producing and performing classical theatre in the Boulder community since 1980.
