Medea | 2024
An abridged version of Ben Power's adaptation of Eurypides Medea was produced as part of the 2024 Capital Fringe Festival, winning the audience award for Best Drama.
The production was directed by Michael Chamberlin.
"In this creatively mesmerizing staging, from the costumes to well-placed screams, the production standout for me was the incredible use of light and shadow in making the agony of the story larger than life (or rather, death). With a plot dancing between parable and fable, tragedy and nightmare, it’s impossible to not feel fear..."
​​​​
"…Freeman is captivating as Medea…the Chorus actors are equals in talent but exhibit diversity in ages and styles…the text, direction, and performances make Songs of the Goat’s “Medea” a strong entry…
A punch in the stomach of a production."
​​
"Medea” wasn’t funny, but it was lavish by Fringe standards, featuring a cast of a dozen and making good use of its venue — the DCJCC’s 140-seat Cafritz Hall — with stark lighting effects throwing dramatic shadows on the curtain behind the actors. Happily, they played to a full house.
