The wait is over! On Wednesday, the last instalment in our Season of Violent Women opens at the Gallery on the Corner in Tooting Bec for an exclusive four-day run, including a £5 preview at 2pm on Wednesday and a Saturday matinée. Medea is a fitting finale to the season – her controversial story has been the mythic template for monstrous women of the popular imagination for centuries. Themes of obsessive love, desperation and motherhood will be tested in the intimate, brand new space.
With a raw, contemporary text by Wendy Haines and an all-female cast, By Jove will continue their signature provocative and original work adapting myth that challenges the assumptions we make about women and their actions. The production will star SJ Brady, Sinead Costelloe and Rosa Whicker as Medea tries to communicate herself to a room of strangers. Abandoned by her husband for another woman and left with the
prospect of destitution, Medea drives herself to a shocking act of violence.
