The Almeida's Medea - full casting announced
Casting news
FULL casting has been announced for Rachel Cusk’s new version of Euripides’ Medea. Directed by Rupert Goold (The Merchant of Venice, King Charles III, American Psycho), it runs at the Almeida Theatre from September 25 to November 14, 2015, as part of the Greeks season.
Joining previously announced Kate Fleetwood in the title role are Michele Austin, Guillarmo Bedward, Sarah Belcher, Amanda Boxer, Richard Cant, Ruth Everett, Georgina Lamb, Emily Mytton, Charlotte Randle, Lukas Rolfe, Justin Salinger, Louis Sayers, Sam Smith, Xavier Moras Spencer, Andy de la Tour and Joseph West.
Medea’s marriage is breaking up. And so is everything else. Testing the limits of revenge and liberty, Euripides’ seminal play cuts to the heart of gender politics and asks what it means to be a woman and a wife.
Medea is designed by Ian MacNeil, with choreography by Scott Ambler, costume by Holly Waddington and sound by Adam Cork.
