An ice-cold, high-octane adaptation of Euripides' play written in battle rap verse, this brand-new hip-hop version of Medea sheds contemporary light on the classic tragedy of family, power and revenge—as terrifying and shocking today as it was two thousand years ago. Luis Quintero’s version of the story reignites the sacred rage of our ancestors and illuminates in the most human terms the extraordinary lengths that some people will travel to even the scales of justice.

Originally commissioned and developed by Red Bull Theater, the rolling World Premiere of Medea: Re-Versed begins outdoors at Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival from June 12 to August 30. It then moves indoors, Off-Broadway at the Sheen Center Frank Shiner Theatre. RBT, HVSF and Bedlam co-present.
