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.
Fri Jan 29 – Sun Feb 7
Jane Austen's 1813 novel on stage. Elizabeth Bennet, the second of five daughters in a family whose estate will pass to a cousin, and the proud, wealthy Mr Darcy misjudge each other across a round of country balls, a disastrous first proposal, the charming Mr Wickham's lies and Lydia Bennet's elopement, before either will admit to having been wrong.
Fri Mar 12 – Sun Mar 21
Charlemagne's son goes looking for a life that means something while a troupe of players narrates, offers him war, sex and politics in turn, and steers him towards their finale. Stephen Schwartz wrote the score and Roger O. Hirson the book; it opened on Broadway in 1972 under Bob Fosse.
Fri Jun 18 – Sun Jun 27
Harvey Fierstein and Jerry Herman's musical, set around a Saint-Tropez drag club, in which Georges and Albin try to pass one evening as a conventional couple so their son can present them to his fiancée's ultra-conservative parents. It contains "I Am What I Am." Andrew Hankinson directs; Thom Smoker is music director.
