Medea

Malvern Theatres Young Company is remembered for its powerful staging of Sophocles’ Antigone in 2018 and its five-star (EdinburghGuide.com) production of Dylan Thomas’ Under Milk Wood the following year. This strong and capable ensemble returns to Edinburgh in 2024 with Euripides’ Medea. A heartbreaking portrayal of a mother’s betrayal, despair and ultimate revenge, Medea is as shocking today as it was 2,500 years ago. Director Nic Lloyd’s perfectly scaled production is ideal for the Edinburgh stage and will leave audiences in no doubt as to why the play remains the most frequently performed of all the Greek tragedies.
