"Remarkable emotional honesty"
-Michael Faciejew, Montréal Gazette, (6/12/06) read entire review
A barbarian witch. An empress of France.
A highly visual multimedia one-actor performance: two women with two reactions to being cast aside by powerful men. Created and performed (direction, script development, and scenic and costume design) by Amy Woodruff using the text of Euripides' Medea and the letters of Joséphine Bonaparte, with video by Amy Woodruff and Chrispin Barnes.
Additional video appearances by Chrispin Barnes, Gabrielle Reisman, John Tiliakos, Eric Illarmo, and Austin and Alex Higdon. The approximate running time is forty minutes (no intermission), and the age recommendation is 10+.
