“Medea,” a timeless tragedy, transports spectators to a world set a decade after the courageous Medea aided Jason and his Argonauts in retrieving the coveted Golden Fleece for King Pelias. However, the plot takes a dark turn as it unfolds the aftermath of Jason’s betrayal, leaving Medea abandoned for the pursuit of power and wealth on the throne of Corinth.
