A theatrical retelling of the little-known Medusa origin story. Before she was one of the greatest mythical monsters of all time
Medusa was a kind
beautiful sea nymph in Athena's service. Unparalleled in both her beauty and devotion to the Gods
Medusa catches the eye of the charming but narcissistic Poseidon. Interested only in the passions of the spirit
and not the flesh
Medusa feels she has no choice but to reject the greedy God. For this
she not only suffers violence at the hand of Poseidon
but also incites a deep-seated jealousy in Athena
with horrific and disturbing consequences.
Medusa Undoneexplores how rape culture reverberates through the ages
and calls attention to the great injustice suffered by female victims of abuse.
