Medea/Medea

Eerie is what comes to mind when describing this complex and interesting play. My mind was filled with confusion throughout the play, and i left confused as well. Although i could not understand what was happening or the message of the play, i can still appreciate how complex and different it was! The set was very creepy and intriguing. The costumes, or lack of costume for some, was definitely eye catching. The fact that this play had hardly any speaking lines was what made the play so interesting and difficult to act in. Actors rely on the lines of others to know when to cue in with their next line. However, in this play that was not the case. For a good portion of the time there was not any speaking just movement, so it was definitely more difficult for the actors to know when to do certain movements or act something out. The director must have such a unique mind to think up a play like this! The actors definitely had to have rehearsed multiple times to get the timing down because it is difficult to act in a play when there are no words. They had to be aware of certain sound effects and watch for specific cues from their fellow actors. This play was so complex for everyone; in the audience and the actors especially. For the audience it was difficult to understand what was going on without the speaking of the actors. I can not even imagine the amount of effort and time these actors and the director put in to construct such a difficult play. Overall, it kept my attention that is for sure!
