Notes: | A stage play, based on the classic story of Medea, that borrows from the Soap Opera genre whose hallmarks are romantic stakes, soaring jealousy, eavesdropping, crimes of passion, and twists of plot, such as people returning from far away places-- like insane asylums or death. | |||||
Synopsis: | Glauce and Jason sail on the Argo, about to wed on the isle of Crete. But Glauce's dress has been poisoned and she nearly dies. When Medea, escaped from an asylum, shows up with the remedy, Jason must make a difficult choice to save his fiancee.
