    This iconic source material is elevated in a way that is so original and unique that it feels like a completely new piece of theatre. The structure is absolutely stunning and is accompanied by beautiful dialogue that is surrounded by this poetic nature that is just hauntingly beautiful. This adaptation by Aly Kantor is mesmerizing. This play is truly worthy of an audience.

    Ooh, I would be so excited to see a production of this piece. Kantor beautifully integrates the poetic with the everyday, leaving us in a precisely calibrated and unique space.

    The theatricality of this play!! I wasn't prepared for how beautiful it was going to be. Aly Kantor has a knack for reimagining her adaptations in a wholly unique way. This is gorgeous on the page, and I can't even imagine how amazing it would be on a stage, getting to see the dances and hear the songs (and that ending!! I want to see the ending!!) This Medea feels both classically old and surprisingly contemporary at the same time, and I can't get enough of it.

    There is a stage direction at the end of this adaptation that holds all the sad beauty of the final song of Hadestown, that holds every bit of hope... but then it tells us to do more than hope. You likely know the story of Medea. But until you know Kantor's Medea, I think you've yet to know it at all. This is a stunning adaptation from the lullabies to the movement and dialogue to the final, brilliant turn.
