SUMMARY:Medea and Her Sons [Vassar’s Powerhouse Theater 2025]
DESCRIPTION:Written by Peter Gil-Sheridan\nMedea, the infamous anti-hero of Greek mythology, is one of the most complex women ever written: sorceress, exile, foreigner, wife, and mother. Her betrayal by Jason and the brutal revenge that followed, her story has echoed through centuries as a tale of passion and fury.\nBut what if she never did kill those kids?\nYears after the tragedy that defined her, Medea is still here—wiser, older, and still a mother. Her children survived. And now they’ve set out to understand the story of their parents by making a glitter-soaked, questionable version of events. Can a mother survive watching her trauma turned into a campy two-hander? Can generational drama be healed, or at least workshopped? One son performs his mother in full drag. The other slips into the role of his father, rewriting history with a smile. Medea has notes. So many notes.\nMedea and Her Sons is the story of a mother reckoning with the way her life has been mythologized and misunderstood. All these years later, the question is: can she avoid her murderous fate or will she kill them after all?\n\n
