asdf The introduction to this play was quite unusual. The audience sat on all 4 sides, and a member of the chorus sat somewhere in each section. But the stark setting worked well, and the actors moved through the diagonals in the sections, so it didn’t matter which section you were in.
The play was well done, and Hannah Montgomery did a solid job as Medea. Jason, better known in the myths, has lesser role in this play, but Adlai Coleman did a good job. The chorus, including Hanover High alum Kate Budney, acted well as a chorus, often speaking together.
The play is a grim one, and I hadn’t read in a long time. But it is a good play. I don’t remember the original well enough, but this version was certainly brief, and intense, with no fluff, finishing in less than 90 minutes. Euripides is really a modern ancient playwright.
