Medea
November 8th, 2008 at 12:49 am (Nigel Bennett)
Nigel will be playing Creon, king of Corinth in Manitoba Theatre Centre’s production of “Medea”. Written by Euripides, this ancient Greek tragedy centers on the myth of Jason, leader of the Argonauts, who has won the dragon-guarded treasure of the Golden Fleece with the help of the sorceress Medea. Having married Medea and fathered her two children, Jason abandons her for a more favorable match, never suspecting the terrible revenge she will take.
The play opens on November 20th and runs through December 13th. In January and February 2009, the production is scheduled to move to the Canon Theatre in Toronto (Jan 9 - Feb 8 ).
