Intense, gut-wrenching drama of the highest calibre.
Take bow after bow John Paul College, yet again your students have excelled, this time at one of the most difficult of on-stage challenges - a Greek tragedy, albeit a production adapted to an ultra modern setting.
It opens with Medea's young sons lying prone, playing with their iPads and phones, not a bit as Euripides would have visualised it in 431 BC.
It was tragic then, if it's possible it's even more so circa the 21st century, despite the world becoming almost immune to abandonment, ambition, betrayal, revenge and the most heinous of murders.
What can be more heinous than a mother who butchers her two sons because their father Jason (he of the golden fleece) abandons her to marry the king's daughter, Kreusa? Naturally, it's for the sake of political expediency.
