Alone; betrayed by a husband she sacrificed everything for, Medea unleashes a horrific vengeance on her enemies, making both assassins and victims of her own children. Featuring one of the most powerful female roles in the history of drama, Medea is an intense story fuelled by passion, hatred and deadly rage. Heroic yet deadly, sympathetic yet appalling Medea's barbaric actions will stir your emotions as you find yourself irresistibly drawn into the nightmare world of this spectacularly vengeful woman. Northern Broadsides are internationally celebrated for their highly charged performance style and charismatic cast of actors, winning them the loyal following of the public and critics alike. Their vitality, directness and energy will ignite the dramatic voltage of Tom Paulin's gripping new version.

CityLife review
