Medea

by Euripides, translated by Diane Arnson Svarlien

Marblehead Little Theatre · Marblehead Little Theatre · 12 School Street · Marblehead

Euripides gives Medea the argument as well as the knife: abandoned by Jason for a royal marriage, she reasons her way to the murder of their children. Marblehead Little Theatre uses Diane Arnson Svarlien's verse translation. Euripides staged the play at the City Dionysia in 431 BC, where it placed third.
