Thoughts from the Light Designer
Medea is a a dark and foreboding play, it deals with hu-
manity’s deep fears of betrayal and murder. It
has, and this is particularly true for Annouchka
Bayley’s version of the play, a subtext of eman-
cipation, careerism, gender relations, and the
loss of love. There are characters, there are
scenes, but there are these scenes and facets of
the characters which exist only in the imagina-
tion, the fears, the remembrances.
