On Thursday night, we went to see
Medea at a black box theater. It was soooo good! For those of you who don't know the story, Medea was the woman Jason (Greek myth Jason) picked up at the island where he got the golden fleece. Then he left her after they had two sons to marry the daughter of the king of Corinth. Medea went crazy and murdered Jason's new wife and father-in-law as well as both of her sons. The play was good but very intense, especially the last scene, when Medea came out of her house with blood all over her hands and smeared on her face and told Jason the stain came from wine that she had "crushed from two sweet grapes." Shudder. Bryant's friend Elliot Wood starred as Jason (who, by the way, was a jerk) and was so good and in the zone that he spit all over everyone when he was yelling. :) We also saw him in
Persuasion a couple months ago, where he made an excellent Captain Wentworth. Watch out for Elliot, he'll be famous some day!
