Photo Flash: Redd Tale Theatre Company's MADDY: A Modern Day Medea
By: Gabrielle Sierra Aug. 27, 2009
Redd Tale Theatre Company's MADDY is set in the heartland of America at The Corinthian, a trailer park. Against the backdrop of the original Greek tragedy, this production adds a Fringe/X-Files/Supernatural element into the mix. Maddy finds herself seven years into a relationship: Two children, jobless, broke, living in a trailer park, her lover about to marry the landlord's daughter, and an impending eviction. Faced with mounting adversity, Maddy must decide whether her humanity is worth fighting for or returning to her former existence.
Runs thru 8/29 At Nicu's Spoon Theatre
