About

This book provides an exhaustive account of the performance history of Euripides' tragedy and its various versions and adaptations from 1500 to 2000, underscoring its lasting social and political relevance. Here, papers drawn from an interdisciplinary colloquium, hosted at Somerville College by the University of Oxford's Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama in August 1998, are augmented by additional essays from specialists. Medea in Performance includes a production chronology compiled from the Archive's database, providing an indispensable research tool for anyone interested in the worldwide reception of ancient plays.
