Medea: Out Of The Mouths Of Babes
VENUE
directed by steven mitchell wright
MEDEA: OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES is based on Euripides’ MEDEA as recalled and reimagined from the fantastical minds of her slain children. History is told by the victors, and myths preserved by those in power, but perhaps it is the youngest that grip the hardest truths?
This work is designed to engage teen and young adult audience, a production that excites them for many years to come.
This daring amalgamation of theatrical forms plays out like a surreal living music video with film projection, live feed and song.
Developed by the Theatre Works’ award-winning creative team and a council of children, who through a guided workshop process refracted Euripides and his ancient characters to form the basis of the script, the design and theatrical language of the work.

“This skilfully stylised melodrama is a gripping and profound reworking of Euripides’ Ancient Greek tragedy.” - Stage Whispers
“The way additional media was used throughout the performance to enhance the storytelling is a true wonder.” - Lilithia Reviews
“The Modes of performance by the excellent cast of only three are all precisely judged, from high flown poetic declamation to acidic satire.” - Stage Whispers
