 Greek Theater in NY with Randy Gener   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
The myth of the barbarian Woman who kills her own offspring to spite her philandering husband, while routine in the animal kingdom, seems so extreme and confounding to rational-thinking humans (yet so prevalent in the tabloids) that it is not very surprising to see that there are three "Medea" scheduled to go into production.
