Medea
Performed on a bare stage featuring blinding white massive tri-fold walls , the piece unfolds with a clinical, detached feel. It begins with Lucas bringing Anna home from the psychiatric hospital where she has spent months after attempting to poison him with ricin, derived from castor oil seeds. She had no intention of killing him, she claims, but merely wanted to be close to him.
Lucas has no intention of going back, but he's determined to maintain a cordial relationship with his ex for the sake of their two young children . The violently climactic plot developments are set in motion when Lucas impulsively succumbs to Anna's entreaties to go to bed together one last time, only for the couple to be interrupted by their children, who videotape their parents in a compromised state. When Lucas angrily lashes out at his son for refusing to turn off the camera, things spiral down from there.
