Munich Medea: Happy Family

PlayCo, WP Theater

Jan 30 - Feb 25, 2024

Why did you tell them about our secrets?” “Why share things with them that they cannot understand?” Childhood friends, Caroline and Alice reestablish contact after more than 20 years. As they begin to unravel shared memories, they discover the part that Caroline’s father, a renowned theater actor, played in both their lives and how it affects them to this very day. Corinne Jaber’s new play captures the wild vulnerability of youth and the heavy armature of adulthood in unsparing, theatrical detail, led by award-winning director Lee Sunday Evans (Oratorio for Living Things, Dance Nation). MUNICH MEDEA: HAPPY FAMILY deals with sexual assault and its aftermath. Experiences are recounted, but not enacted onstage. We recommend this piece for people ages fourteen and up.
