Summary:

"A Student Edition of Euripides' play with commentary by Will Shuler, which looks at its portrayal of violence - both onstage and off; the original performance conditions; staging challenges, both then and now (including Medea's exit on a dragon); the notion of myth and how Greek tragedians were telling old stories to get new meanings; and how the play has evolved through translation. It considers a range of productions around the world up to the present day in order to see how different translators and playwrights have adapted the material, and how actors and directors have approached it"-- Provided by publisher.
