This contemporary telling of the ancient classic will leave you shocked, amused by the audacity of its cutting wit, and ready to come back for more. Under t</span><span class="" style="display:inline;color:rgb(55,64,78);font-family:'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:18px">he direction of Mamai Theatre co-founder Bernadette Clemens, MEDEA unfolds like a mack truck in your face....and I mean that in a fabulously good way! Every performance of this ensemble cast is strong....the audience will delight as they witness professional theatre at its best. Tracee Patterson is phenomenal in the title role. Jason Kaufman plays the target of her revenge with a cunning making the audience wait on the edge of their collective seat for his next entrance. Anne McEvoy, Robert Hawkes, Jean Cummins, Natalie, Mary Jane Nottage, and the cast of thirteen that makes up this company are stellar. <br>
