***This play contains triggering content that include rape and sexual assault. Patron discretion is advised.***Medusa Undone, a play by Bella PoyntonMedusa Undone is a dramatization of the little-known Medusa origin story. Before she was one of the greatest mythical monsters of all time, Medusa was a kind, beautiful sea-nymph in Athenas service. Unparalleled in both her beauty and devotion to the Gods, Medusa catches the eye of the charming but narcissistic Poseidon. Interested only in the passions of the spirit, and not the flesh, Medusa has no choice but to reject the greedy God. She not only suffers violence at the hand of Poseidon, but also unknowingly incites a deep-seated jealousy in Athena, with horrific and disturbing consequences. Medusa Undone explores the social problem of rape culture, our tendency to victim blame, and the great injustice suffered by female victims of abuse of all kinds.Medusa Undone A Midwest Premiere Written by Bella PoyntonDirected by Otherworld Artistic Director, Tiffany Keane Schaefer*CASTMEDUSA Mary-Kate Arnold*ATHENA Jessica Goforth+POSEIDON- Michael Jay Bullaro+STHENO- Grace Gimpel*CLEA Christina Jones*Ensemble Member +Artistic AssociatePRODUCTION TEAMDramaturg Lauren Nicole Fields*Set Designer Hannah BeaudryLighting Designer Claire SangsterCostume Designer Beth Laske MillerIntimacy Designer Jennifer MickelsonFight Choreographer Kai Young
