Scary • Dark • Classic • Haunting Medea

[vampire]Medea opens Thursday, October 27th and runs for only five performances at VCU's Shafer Street Theatre.  Running at about ninety minutes, [v]M is packed with blood, violence, shouting, tenderness, and poetry.

It is a world premier production at VCU crafted almost entirely in the theatre department and featuring original music.  With a cast ranging from sophomores to second-year graduate students, and directed by Augustin J Correro, [v]M juxtaposes modern sensibilities about the value of women, innocence, fidelity, and other-ness with Shakespeare's immortal language and Euripides' timeless story...all set in a world of darkness rife with things that go bump in the night!

Check out [vampire]Medea for a great treat on your Halloween Weekend!

Performances are:
Thurs Oct 27 @ 8pm
Fri Oct 28 @ 8pm & 11:59 (show time 12:30, pre-show reception from midnight)
Sat Oct 29 @ 8pm
Sun Oct 30 @ 2pm
