Medea, by Kate Mulvany & Anne-Louise Sarks (after Euripides) (2015), Gate Theatre, Notting Hill

A wholesale re-telling of Euripides’ tragedy from the boys’ perspective.

The inclusion of voices, the oppressed, the unheard… it all sounds like a good thing. And I think it is, so long as not part of an ideological project to exclude other voices. Given that this theatre puts itself forward as self-consciously progressive, I feared the worst: not art, but preaching.
