A sublime exploration of the loneliness of a cursed gorgon. Madame Medusa's wry voice is compelling and seductive as she leads us through her history and to the big decision she is about to make. ”

If I can indulge in a little cross-medium marketing speak: if you liked Madeline Miller's novel CIRCE, you will love this Nora Louise Syran solo piece. Here Medusa is reimagined with a dry, weary wit and rich inner life -- one shaped by a too-long history of curses, potential assassins, fraught reproductive choices, unfulfilled dreams & wishes, and more. A lovely meditation on stagnation and the hope of change. ”

As a Chardonnay person myself I was drawn to this title instantly and I absolutely loved it! Madame Medusa is a character I'd love to play simply because she is so fabulous! By the end of the piece you feel for this poor woman simply trying to relax and enjoy a lovely glass of wine! Nora has expertly flipped the expectation to cheer the hero and boo the villain on its head in this piece. It would make a stunning piece for an actress to add to her performances! Its an empowering and brilliantly constructed piece. Bravo! ”
