"Is this really all I’ll be remembered for? For being a woman who was hurt and then killed for it? An animal waiting to die?"
She’s crass, she’s funny, and she’s ready to piss you off. Medusa feels like she’s on top of the world, she’d want you to know her name – but not like this. After a night of high tensioned festivities, where her responsibilities as high priestess leave her isolated and vulnerable, Poseidon, the very god she’s been flirting with all night, sexually assaults her. As Medusa battles with her trauma and becomes a danger to both herself and others, everyone must choose their next move carefully – though it seems deciding the right thing to do is far from easy. Monster. Martyr. Mortal. How will you remember her?
Called 'gut-wrenching' and 'heart-breakingly beautiful', FLW is proud to present the new play Medusa by emerging writer/director Bronte Lemaire
