MEREDITH

'Meredith' is a retelling of Euripides’ 'Medea' but with a twist as the drama takes place in nineteenth-century England. Impoverished aristocrat Lord Jason spurns Meredith in favour of Gloria the daughter of the wealthy businessman Crane. In the beginning Meredith acquiesces with Jason’s scheme because she will sacrifice everything so her sons do not face poverty. Later Meredith no longer tolerates such insolence passively. Resolute and shrewd she focuses her formidable energies to realising the grandest and most shocking retribution possible on those who have wronged her.
