This is the tragedy of Hester Swane, a woman who has endured a lifetime of being discarded by nearly everyone she has loved. Now faced with the threat of losing her child and her land Hester becomes increasingly desperate. Loosely based on Euripides’ Medea, this show explores identity, family, and the complexities of relationships through the poignant portrayal of one woman's search for meaning and redemption.
