On the island of Medusa, we encounter depths of perception, the lies we are taught to believe, and the possibility for freedom from societal and self-perpetuated misconception. Strong female roles and an enchanting re-telling of mythology that will resonate with today.

Blevins reminds us that Medusa may have been a "monster" but none of those people would have died if they didn't invade her home and try to kill her first. And from there we have the story of a cursed woman betrayed by salvation who just wants to be left alone. But the true protagonist here is Princess Metope, blind yet searching, a resilient survivor of tremendous physical torment. The two provide a beautiful dichotomy, their histories complimenting one another, finding salvation together.

Jillian Blevins uses the common mythology of Medusa to show us how women can protect one another even when they themselves have survived so much. This play is heart felt and oh so very smart. It has so much stunning potential for design. And includes a role for a blind/vision impaired actor.
