Medea
An exercise at Columbia College Chicago assigned by Frances Maggio
‘Design Medea in a unique way”
I decided to set the show during the age of Old Hollywood. Medea is reimagined as a starlet soon to be replaced by the Producer’s own ingenue daughter.
Medea, a movie star who refuses to leave her dressing room after finding out her husband is leaving her for a younger starlet
Jason, leading man and most sought after in Hollywood. Currently staring in a period piece set in Ancient Greece.
Glauce, the daughter of the head of the studio and an up and coming starlet
Creon, the head of the studio, top producer, "King of the Silver Screen"
Aegeus, biggest star of the rising "Cowboy" genre. From a different studio
The Chorus, Chorus girls from various movie musicals and dance numbers
The Nurse, a live in nanny working for Medea
The Sons, Medeas children
Medeas final red carpet look before leaving the industry forever, death and destruction left in her path
