ANOTHER MEDEA tells the story of the incarcerated Marcus Sharp, a charismatic and enigmatic New York actor who recounts in gruesome detail how his obsessions with a wealthy doctor named Jason and the myth of Medea lead to horrific, unspeakable events. At once ancient and up-to-the-minute contemporary, this provocative, minimalist thriller stars Tony Award nominee Tom Hewitt in what writer/director Aaron Mark calls “Grand Guignol horror in the style of Spalding Gray”. The battle between Medea and Jason has been told and retold, but never quite like this.

“Aaron Mark’s ANOTHER MEDEA is as intense and gripping a show as you’re ever likely to see…”

“I had a soul-wrenching, blew-my-mind, awe-inspiring evening…”
