Medea will be played by Sebnem Kostem, the role of Jason will be cast by Murat Daltaban, the Governess will be played by Tomris Incer while Creon will be performed by Jalsin Boratap ant others.
Euripidean tragedy "Medea " shows the opposite and unlimited selfishness and lust for revenge of the merciless instability of a woman toward family. Jason leaves Medea because of a woman.
Medea-the barbarian of Colhida- kills her two children to punish the adultery of her husband Jason, who belongs to the civilized antique Greece. Normally, that murder is attributed to Medea's barbarianism. The moral problem pervading the Euripiden tragedy is close to the sentiments of the modern man.
