Description Students of Flinders Drama Centre’s Bachelor of Performance courses in Acting, Directing and Theatre-Making present the first ever staging of Medea in Exile, a bold new triptych created by acclaimed Australian playwright Tom Holloway and classicist Dr Emma Cole.
The trilogy spans Medea’s lost prelude and aftermath: from her childhood as a priestess presiding over human sacrifice, through her erased encounter with Herakles, to her later exile in Athens where she again confronts betrayal and the destructive instinct for revenge.
