Casting announced for world premiere of THE MUSICAL MEDEA at Upstairs at the Gatehouse
Casting has been announced for new folk musical retelling of the Ancient Greek myth Medea, which plays at Upstairs at the Gatehouse from 29 July-3 August…and this time, Medea’s holding the mic.
Leaving behind the safety of her homeland, Medea places her trust in Jason and his promise of a glittering future together. But is her faith well placed? With an original folk score and an ensemble of actor-musicians comes a new dimension to the story you thought you knew of sacrifice, betrayal, and the cataclysmic power of love.
The actor musician cast includes Flo Lunnon (Off West End debut) as Medea, Alistair Higgins (Choir of Man, West End/International tour), Gracie Lai (Your Lie in April, West End), Jon Bonner (The Commitments, UK Tour), Caoimhe De Brún (Cinderella, Maidenhead), Felix Gillingwater (Oliver!, Frinton Summer Theatre), and Thomas Fabian Parrish (Once, Barn Theatre Cirencester).
Written by Costas Hassabis and directed by Tara Noonan, The Musical Medea has musical direction by Thomas Arnold and movement direction by Kim Wright.
