Black Medea
Thu, 19 May 2005, 11:49 amHi there
Just wanted to encourage anyone who has the chance to see this electrifying re-working of Medea at the Malthouse (Melbourne), to go see.
The text is striking, the lighting/sound/set evocative and all the performances powerful. In particular, Margaret Harvey as Medea was mesmerising. We were in the front(ish) row and the old adage of the eyes being the window to the soul (or whatever), had never been more appropriate and her delivery was absolutely compelling. A treat and a lesson all at once.
Dan
ps- If you get a chance to go, ensure you go on a night where they have the Q&A session afterwards. Writer/director Wesley Enoch and the cast gave a fascinating insight into the creation of the whole production. Kinda like the special feature section on a DVD on the making of the flick, but for a play!

Re: Black Medea
I saw 'Black Medea' with my school. It was the most electrifying performance i have ever seen. I was emotionally touched and changed by the maddness and the divercity of Medea and the other characters.
