Mini Review
This pared-down version of Marina Carr's updated, lyrical Medea tale -- set in Ireland and filled with dark Irish humour -- feels like a work in progress. Still, there's lots to admire in the performances by the large ensemble cast. What it needs is more rehearsal time and a full production. NNN (JK)
