A Mother: A Mother coaxes us into her experience of anguish, guilt and anger, as she grapples with the monster she has created. We share a mother's torment as the play takes on an increasingly nightmarish quality and she descends into her final hell.
​
Medea: Taking it's cue from the Euripides tragedy, Franca Rame's Medea explores the sexual politics of motherhood, and its ultimate taboo - infanticide.
Performed by Jane Gwilliams.
Directed by Hendrick January.
Produced by Emma Mahony.
Music by Herbert Homer-Warbeck
All profits from the Edinburgh Fringe and Coming Home Film go to the charity Fine Cell Work.
"A Mother" and "Medea" presented by special arrangement with SAMUEL FRENCH LTD, a Concord Theatricals company.
