Oregon Shakespeare Festival: Medea/MacBeth/Cinderella August 9, 2012

A jealous wife sends an unthinkable message to her cheating husband. A lord, urged on by his aggressive lady, murders his king. A mistreated stepdaughter engages with magic for love and happiness. You know these three plays from two millennia of populist theatre--Greek tragedy, Elizabethan drama and American musical comedy. But you will be astonished by how these separate stories of ambition interweave into one revelatory whole that builds to an unexpected climax.
