Synopsis
Dea and Jay met at drama school over 15 years ago. They now live in the East Village with their 9 year old son when Dea, a rising film star, drops a bombshell during a Q&A for her new action flick: she killed her brother out of self-defense. Thus begins a media firestorm and a messy affair between Jay and the non-binary adult child of Dea's Hollywood agent. The wild tale unfurls from Jay's point of view.
This 45 minute solo adaptation of Euripides' Medea is the creation of filmmaker/actor Mark Blane (writer/director/star of the 2019 feature film CUBBY and Writer/Producer of the Netflix Original THE DEATH AND LIFE OF MARSHA P. JOHNSON).
