After Cynthia's mother disappears without a trace, the 17-year-old Korean-American struggles to excel in school, raise her younger sister Julianne, and meet the expectations of her emotionally absent, immigrant father. Soon Cynthia begins to retreat into the surreal universe of her own psyche, where she encounters familiar figures like Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan. Presiding over it all is Medea, at long last reclaiming her infamous role within Greek mythology. With playwright and performer Sue Jin Song masterfully embodying all of the characters in a tour-de-force solo performance, Children of Medea is a raw and visceral coming-of-age story that balances haunting lyricism with youthful wonder. (This production contains strong language and adult themes.)
