Medea
AuthorLiz Lochhead
ISBN1854596020
I liked this adaptation of Medea (which is not one of my favorite Greek plays), but I really only have two things to say about it. 1) Lochhead's adaptation seems to move quicker than Euripides' play and many of the other adaptations I've read, which I really like. Plays that drag are challenging, and I feel...
