National Theatre Live: Medea

National Theatre Live: Medea

Medea is a wife and a mother. For the sake of her husband, Jason, she’s left her home and borne two sons in exile. But when he abandons his family for a new life, Medea faces banishment and separation from her children. Cornered, she begs for one day’s grace. It’s time enough. She exacts an appalling revenge and destroys everything she holds dear.

Honour

Honour

Lee and Sonny are very close 11-year-old friends who are goaded by an older boy to break into a flat they think is uninhabited as an initiation to join his 'crew'. Their mission is to bring back something of value but what they find instead is an inert, probably dead, man inside. Lee and Sonny are forced to confront their naive notions of masculinity and codes of honour when the dead man turns out to be a wanted criminal in hiding.
