A Mother / Medea

Jane Gwilliams in A Mother / Medea by Franca Rame and Dario Fo Directed by Hendrick January Wednesday 22nd - Saturday 25th January 2020 at 7.45pm Dugdale Theatre, 39 London Road, Enfield EN2 6DS A gripping double bill of plays by Dario Fo and Franca Rame exploring a Mother in crisis. A Mother A Mother coaxes us into her experience of anguish, guilt and anger, as she grapples with the monster she has created. We share a mother's torment as the play takes on an increasingly nightmarish quality and she descends into her final hell. Society shares a collective fear of terrorism without allowing a full conversation. Medea We discover Medea abandoned and in despair, as she comes to realise that she is a victim of centuries of male oppression rather than a pawn in the hands of the Fate. Accordingly, her children must die in order to break the chains of oppression. By Nobel Prize Winner Dario Fo and Franca Rame. A Mother Translated by Ed Emery. Medea traslated by Gillian Hanna A Mother and Medea are presented by special arrangement with Samuel French Ltd, A Concord Theatricals Company.
