“I am not a part of the story you tried to write
I am the story
And it ends when I say so”

Everyone knows how Jason won the Golden Fleece – everyone knows how he became a hero for all time - and everyone knows the part his wife, Medea, played in creating his legend – don’t they?

Erased from the narrative – abandoned by her husband for a new wife and a new life – left isolated and alone in a city where she does not and cannot belong – Medea begins to plot revenge – a terrible, bloody revenge that will send a howl of rage echoing through the ages.

Bard in the Botanics are proud to produce this thrilling Greek tragedy in a powerful new version by Kathy McKean, with award-winning actor, Nicole Cooper, in the title role.

RUNNING TIME: 90 minutes (this is currently an approximate running time and will be updated closer to the production’s opening date)
