Theatre/Media students at Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) School of Communication will stage a production of the classic Greek tragedy Medea, by Euripides, at the Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre (BMEC) from Thursday 7 to Saturday 9 June. Twenty five third year students are involved as cast and crew for the production which is being directed by CSU lecturer Ms Annabel Scholes. “Medea was first performed in 431BC and I chose it because of its timeless relevance to modern audiences,” Ms Scholes said. “Medea is a tragedy, a story of betrayal and terrible revenge. It is a challenging script for the actors, and because no copyright applies, it allows us to modernise and retell the story in an innovative way. With support from industry professionals, students produce the entire show, including set design, costume, sound, lighting, stage management, production management, assistant directing, multimedia and publicity.”
