Revising Euripides

 Just a short note for Nick Thomas's On Staging a New Medea – and its Sequel (Antigone)

This was hardly audacious. Seneca the Younger produced his own version in the 1st century AD, and the last 400 years have seen at least another eight, as well as ten operas. My effort aims to be one of the more respectful, in that I’ve stuck pretty closely to Euripides’ sequence of scenes, and retained much of his proto-feminist subtext. But there are structural and dramatic differences.

I find it interesting for its insights into creating a new version of an old play and a new sequel.
