The main actress acting reminds me of a character from Fraiser, Jackson Headley (spelling ?)

This isn't Barbie🤔

That was the best thing I've watched in a long time. Read the book The Chemical Muse by Dr. DCA Hillman, you will understand how real all of this was to the Greeks. Hail Medea!

I'm here because the book of stoics say this is an important aspect to recognise in a person - a person without wisdom.

Medea got her karma. She betrayed her father, killed her own brother, and it eventually came back to bite her when Jason decided to forsake her. And then Jason got his karma.

Delicious.

With the Judith Andeeson version you can literally feel her spiral into insanity This one you can feel the simmering fury and rage and the hatred

Wow

This is brilliant acting and dramatization. I thank this channel!

All good stories have more than one ending, and there are actually two ends to Medeas... Euripides version and the lesser-known ending where she does flee to Athens as the citizens of Corinth stone her two boys to death. The citizens of Corinth paid homage to this version by cutting locks from their children's hair and sacrificing them to the spirits of the children. This tradition ended with the sack of Corinth in 146 BC.

aka "Never Stick Your *ick in Crazy"......some things never change. Did she really think shacking up with a random, Greek pirate at the drop of a hat was going to end well? She knew from the start he had to get home and marry a Greek. Instead, countless innocents died and suffered for her gullibility and delusions. Lots of folks get divorced, but that doesn't mean you can kill your children and family. Pure, selfish evil.

Hewwo

1:19:38 - 1:24:18

I have suffered threw this life as Job and/or Madia and Ther is a difference Why make up magicalcal tartar sauce to explain? we have tried. out God. God isn't interested in us anymore. But you do.

My favourite character in greek tragedy, wonderfully portrayed

Zzb

The description of how the princess and king died was VISCERAL, such stellar acting too!!

Amazing. I stumbled across this, it's simply amaizng!

What production is this?

Muito bom, excelente!

Amazing work!

من همون ایرانی ام که دنبالشی 🦧

holy shit, this is one of the most powerful performances of a stage production i've ever seen, and i've seen a lot as a theatre person. some people invoke medea as a figure in their witchcraft practice, but im honestly tempted to invoke zoe caldwell😳

Wow,so nice watching this

1:12:02 - Jean-Claude Van Damme is in this!!

Peccato, non capisco l inglese!

💔

I like that the Chorus was made with a triadic trope (the Maiden, the Mother, & the Crone).

Gaison what is an asshole… He wasn’t in love, he was in lust. What sane man would want his daughter to marry a man who would obviously abandon his wife and children… Thusly, Creonte fucked up, Jason fucked up massively, and the Granddaughter of the Sun God Helios was magnificent and completely correct. Medea was right!

Its painful to watch if you are from a broken family and if you were hurt in your last relationship and that injustice brought out the worst in you. Really tough to watch

In my rejection and disdain of modernity I've decided to start at the very beginning.

did she say asia or aysa

Remember, female roles on the stage have only comparatively recent been played BY the female. So, think of how Euripides could write such a play confident in his acting community + that the bbc chose to use female actors… convention vs convention ~ ~ why? Lastly, 9:20 “… nothing is ever secret in a Greek city”. Now think of our ‘modern’ age, the World Wide Web (WWW) … & ‘everything is Greek to me’ … Euripides wrote with no sense of the limits of ‘time’, so, a timeless play, a timeless creation.

I've read that Medea flees in a flying snake chariot in the end, and Aristotle was angry that Euripides portrayed Medea like that since only Gods and Goddesses are shown in the way at the end of plays (the origin of dues ex machine). But I couldn't find that part anywhere on KZbin. So if anyone has seen it, please let me know.

if she went to domestic relations for child support she would have all the revenge she could ever dream of .

I saw this as a teenager in school 30 years ago and never forgot this performance. The all-consuming rage someone could feel... to kill their own children just to spite an ex. Nothing new under the sun.

I can't help but to think of Abraham kicking out Hagar and their son Ishmael.

Amazing!

Medea, a sorceress. Edea, a sorceress. Sing down the moon from Heaven. Lunar Cry. Did the FF8 team take inspiration from this Ancient Greek story?

OMG the sound track at the end gives me goosebumps.

Wow. This play, this performance. It drew me in and captivated my soul to the very end.

pov: you read “The Silent Patient” by Alex Michaelides

Act II starts at 47:05.

Thank you.

Cast at 1:25:00

Devastating performance

Freely adapted, note. They might at least have her fly off heavenward on a chariot.

I can see how people who love history and ancient greek theatre like this, but many people, being me, are here for an assignment, and I am actually finding the comments very helpful because as much as I hate to say this I have had to rewatch this over and over, it's very boring. I am sorry :( Can you tell I am not a theatre major or history major...

Pov: ur only here to do homework 💀

Who is this woman
