Medea

We missed our train out of Stratford-Upon-Avon. We watched it drive away and didn't realize for about twenty minutes that it had arrived at a different platform. We got on the wrong train and listened to them announce a long list of destinations. When we didn't hear ours, we scrambled to grab our bags and hop off just before it left. Luckily, we'd planned for little hiccups like this and we got on the next one heading to London. It had a transfer in Solihall. The guard looked at our tickets and told us that switching at Dorridge would be faster. Sure enough, we arrived in the city only 10-20 minutes after we'd originally planned. We headed straight from Marylebone to Waterloo, then to the theatre. Medea was a wonderful piece of theatre. The women's chorus used a lot of modern dance to tell the story, as did Jason's new wife. None of the deaths happened onstage, even though it was a modern interpretation. Medea was played by Helen McCroy, who played Narcissa Malfoy in the Harry Potter series. She was wonderful!
