"It’s good to have a little genuine drama in the evening. Euripides, one feels, sometimes
tries too hard." Jolly juxtaposes Medea with the House UnAmerican Activities Hearings - making one doozy of a night at bookclub. I like the way these women's lines are formed. Some favorites are: "This is
not a veneer we paste over the darkness, it is the bedrock, the very foundation of
civilization." and "like a horse in harness. In his rightful place." Nothing ever will be the same after these Ithaca Ladies read Medea.
