Frigid New York Presents MEDEA

FRIGID NEW YORK presents No.11 Productions' Medea. The play is written by Euripides and translated by Paul Roche. What do you do when your hopes are turned to lies? Medea, suddenly abandoned by her husband Jason, plots her bloody revenge. Witness a beautiful and heartbreaking staging of Euripides' 2400-year-old play about love, passion, violence and broken expectations. 

Translator Paul Roche's superb mix of poetry and modern phrasing create a vocal tenacity and musicality that parallel the ancient Greek language. Director Ryan Emmons' psychological, interdisciplinary staging visually activates the text for a modern audience. Rebecca Greenstein's folk-infused, emotionally charged, acoustic compositions challenge the conventional usage of music in a play. Ava Conoval's earthy, symbolic choreography physicalizes the characters' inner turmoil while Jen Neads' Bunraku inspired puppets highlight the inherently theatrical nature of Medea's world.
