Tragedy and Child's Play Unite With Queensland Theatre Commences Production of Medea | The Otaku's Study
The iconic Greek Tragedy Medea commenced at Queensland Theatre’s Billy Brown Theatre this evening. But there is nary a Greek state or marble statue in-sight. Instead, this is a contemporary reimagining of the myth from the minds of Kate Mulvany (Jasper Jones) and Anne-Louise Sarks, where the 2,400 year old tale of passion and revenge is instead set from the perspective of Medea’s young sons, 10-year-old Jasper and 12-year old Leon, residing in modern-day Queensland.
The set: a child’s bedroom, designed by Chloe Greaves, unfolding in-front of the audience as if they are looking into a world cocooned within a glass paneled fish tank. This literal pressure cooker ups the tension as audiences watch the last 70 minutes of these young children’s lives – we can see in, but we can’t get them out.
The cast: The brunt of the acting work is being performed by four young actors, who alternate the roles of young brothers, Jasper and Leon. The cast includes 13-year-old Orlando Dunn-Mura, 8-year-old Edward Hill, 10-yearold Felix Pearn, and 11-year-old Jeremiah Rees. These four actors will hold the audiences attention for a majority of the production’s 80 minute runtime, only joined by Australian actor Helen Cassidy (Family Values, As You Like It) who plays the titular character.
Medea will run at Queensland Theatre’s Billie Brown theatre from today until Saturday 8 June 2024. For ticketing information and to book tickets for performances running an impressive six days a week excluding Sunday, visit the official Queensland Theatre website.
