Medea – Set Constructor
19:45, Tue 5th – Sat 9th May 2026 at ADC Theatre
"A modernised tragedy, Medea stuns with its sensitivity and overall theatrical effect. "
★★★★★ (Varsity)
This bold adaptation of Euripides’ Medea brings life to one of the world’s oldest and greatest plays about love, desire and betrayal. Performed by a company of BAME students, this version celebrates the play’s remarkable resonance to current conversations on displacement, belonging and identity. Stunning live music, ferocious performances and dynamic design collide in a powerful retelling that marks one of the biggest shows to hit Cambridge in 2026.
As Medea, former princess of Colchis, learns that her husband Jason has left her for the young daughter of the King, she spirals. Dissatisfied by the advice of a gossiping chorus of neighbours, and a revolving door of old advisors, she turns to the worst acts imaginable. This Medea embraces the powerful violence and rage of the original, and asks how you can make a home in a world that deems you foreign.
