This timeless psychological thriller follows the story of Medea, as the pressures of court politics, family, and discrimination within the patriarchy start to unravel her world. Themes that are unfortunately, just as relevant today.

Medea is a former Barbarian Princess who left her world behind for the man she loves. When she learns that her husband Jason, leader of the Argonauts, is planning to leave her to marry Glauce, the Greek Princess of Corinth, her love and passion turns to blind rage. With her place in Greek society already under threat, Medea is then banished into exile. This devastating betrayal drives Medea to plot a shocking and calculated revenge on Jason, and take back control in a society ruled by men.

Medea had its mainstage premiere at SunPac Theatre in Brisbane in April 2021 and is now set to embark on a 6-week tour across Qld in 2022, supported by the Arts Queensland through the Playing Qld Arts and Education fund.

Don’t miss this intense and gripping theatre piece that will keep you enthralled from start to finish at Redland Performing Arts Centre on Wednesday 18 May at 7.30pm or Thursday 19 May at 10.30am.

Tickets are $25 or $20 for groups of 10+ and can be booked by calling the RPAC Box Office on 3829 8131 or visiting www.rpac.com.au (booking fees are $5 by phone and $6 online per transaction).
