Medea/Medea is an innovative new version of Euripides’s tragedy devised and directed by Dylan Tighe, the winner of the Gate/Headlong New Directions programme.

In Medea/Medea, live performance interacts with pre-recorded image as the show probes the nature of translation, the concept of theatre and the place of myth in modern society. 

New Directions was launched in 2008 by the Gate and Headlong theatre company to encourage emerging theatre artists to find a new approach to classic international plays and to broaden both companies’ commitment to celebrating and exploring the art of making theatre.
