Jillian Blevins corrects the record.
The myth of Medusa has always been problematic (a fancy word for misogynistic), but in THE FEMALE GAZE, Blevins gives Medusa (and Metope, from another myth) their due. The dialogue is crisp and the staging is ingenious. This is a great and necessary updating of a classic Greek myth, one that makes the story of Medusa and Metope relevant not just to our time, but to all time.
Bravo!
