Medea

Paperback Productions

Paperback Productions presents Medea, an original adaptation of the play by Euripides.

On the storm-locked island of Colchis, Medea betrays her brother and kingdom to help her lover, the Greek adventurer Jason, steal the Golden Fleece. Ten years later, Jason abandons her for the throne of Corinth. Medea answers his betrayal by calling on a forbidden power, setting in motion a revenge that threatens the royal house, everyone she loves, and everything she has left.
