Shadow Horse Theatre Returns With MEDEA By Seneca At Elision Playhouse

Shadow Horse Theatre returns with its first mainstage performance in three years to bring this Classical Roman tragedy based on Greek myths to life. MEDEA is Seneca The Youngers most recognized work based off Euripides original in Ancient Greek, and one of the greatest classical tragedies of all time. Directed by Shadow Horse company member/co-owner and executive producer, Matt Kelly.

From Director Matt Kelly: "MEDEA is a classic myth of vengeance. The play itself takes place 10 years after Jason and the Argonauts hunt the Golden Fleece. We find Medea and Jason, who are now married with children, on the run from the King of Thessaly and her home country of Colchis where she can never return. They end up in Corinth, and Jason makes a plan with King Creon behind Medea's back to save his skin, the children, and hopefully Medea. Medea learns of what Jason is doing and it's heartbreaking. Shadow Horse Theatre decided to pursue the Seneca version of the story, because of how the characters are portrayed. Medea is more human, and less a victim, but rather someone who gets hurt and overcomes the pain, and claims her power once again."
