Medea – Bard in the Botanics
Bard in the Botanics, in association with Raw Material and supported by Macrobert Arts Centre, presents Medea, by Euripides, in a version by Kathy McKean. Directed by Gordon Barr.
Everyone knows how Jason won the Golden Fleece – everyone knows how he became a hero for all time – and everyone knows the part his wife, Medea, played in creating his legend – don’t they? Erased from the narrative – abandoned by her husband for a new wife and a new life – left isolated and alone in a city where she does not and cannot belong – Medea begins to plot revenge – a terrible, bloody revenge that will send a howl of rage echoing through the ages. The award-winning production of this thrilling Greek tragedy returns re-imagined to tour Scotland’s stages.
“I am not a part of the story you tried to write
I am the story
And it ends when I say so”
Winner – Best Production & Best Performer CATS Awards 2022

“Starring Nicole Cooper in the title role, Kathy McKean’s powerful new version of Euripides’ Medea burns with rage and rips at the heart” – Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman
