Staged reading of Harlem Renaissance poet Countee Cullen's English language adaptation of the classic tragedy by Euripides. Ben Guillory directs.
Jason, the hero of legend, has abandoned Medea, daughter of the sun, who saved his life and bore him two sons. Jason has left her to marry the daughter of the wealthy King Creon and become her Prince Consort. Medea, consumed by rage, plots bloody revenge on her enemies. She does not want to slay Jason, however. She wants him to suffer long and hard, so that he may contemplate the consequences of his actions. Who else will endure her merciless wrath? Who shall die?
