“The sense of anything-goes surprise is crucial. So let’s just say that this show playfully (towards the end, very bracingly) recasts the famous myth of female vengeance as aberserk courtroom drama that embraces maternal love, male cravenness and self-delusion, and plenty more besides, playing out on a razor’s edge between humour and horror and giving you heaps to ponder. The cast acquit themselves superbly, with Maya Carroll first among equals as a dancer, but Hannah Shepherd’s Medea shattering in her climactic speech.”
