Billed as a "glassblowing-theater adaptation," a novel production of the Euripedes' drama Medea will fuse the sights, heat, and sounds of glassblowing with ancient Greek tragedy that charts the horrific vengence undertaken by a woman scorned. Patricia Coleman, a New York City writer and theater director, has adapted the classic drama "developing a pared-down text that goes to the heart of female aggression," according to a Website about the upcoming event, taking place at the for-profit studios of Brooklyn Glass for four performances (on April 18, 19, 25, and 26th at 8 pm).
Glassblower Deborah Czeresko will perform in the role of Medea and neon artist David Ablon will play her husband, Jason, who abandons her and sets in motion brutal acts of revenge. Others involved in this production include Emma Stein and Alison Siegel in the roles of Medea’s kid-apprentices. Composer Richard Kamerman composed a score.
