Fantastic Medea 8:57 PM
Here're 2 clips of "Medea" by Virginia Commonwealth University. What's unusual about this production is that the leading role, Medea, is played by deaf actress Mary Vreeland. Hence, while other characters are speaking using their own voices, Medea had to convey her words through the voices of the nurse and the chorus. In short, it is very powerful, signifying the "silent" voice of the
femme fatale which was virtually ignored by everyone around her.
