Medea is a woman from the East, a queen in exile. Burqa has become a part of her skin. This Eastern woman falls in love and gets married to a Greek prince, Jason. Two different religions, two cultures, and two disparate worlds clash in a story of betrayal and desperation. And just before she gets arrested for her crimes, Medea is ready to say goodbye to her girls and to her mythical self. A play about being a foreigner in an unfriendly country and a woman in a world run by men.
Duration: 60 mins. Cast: 1 female.
