Medea
Why the Greeks? With the start of our New Teens and Theatre Company why
did I choose to start with the Greek Theatre? Be cause theatre, as we know it began
with the Greeks. The opportunity to explore the beginnings of theatre with our
courageous young thespians was an experience I will always cherish, for our
intrepid young adventurers took to the myths and history of the Greeks with a
relish and excitement that vitalized the project. Understanding other cultures
and histories is the first step to understanding our own. In this our student
actors showed a remarkable understanding of the emotions and drives that
propelled the story. The flaws of human nature that drove Medea, Jason, and the
Gods of Myth still exist today, but armed with the tales and follies of the
Greek myths perhaps we can avoid the same traps.
The Homeschool
Teens and Theatre (TnT) has been hard at work on a production of a great classic
Greek tragedy: "Medea" by Euripides.
