collectively throughout a number of stage productions because the Nineteen Nineties.<\/p>\nWhat might flip a girl from a lover right into a destroyer of affection?<\/em><\/p>\nMedea<\/em> tells the story of a girl laid naked by grief and rage, and her horrible quest for revenge in opposition to the lads who’ve deserted her.<\/p>\nSophie Okonedo brings her visceral, mercurial brilliance to literature\u2019s most titanic feminine protagonist, whose complexity and contradictions have stored audiences on the sting of their seats, unable to look away, for nearly 2,500 years.<\/p>\n
Sophie Okonedo stated,<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI am really excited and a touch nervous to be playing Medea. I\u2019m buoyed by the fact I\u2019m working with two of my closest friends and long-term collaborators, Dominic Cooke and Ben Daniels. I was lucky enough to have Nica Burns show me around the new @sohoplace theatre while it was still being built, and I was so impressed by the space that I signed up immediately to perform there!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Dominic Cooke additionally commented,<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI have been friends with Sophie Okonedo since we were in our teens. We\u2019ve worked together many times including on Arabian Nights<\/em> at the Young Vic in 1998 and The Hollow Crown: Wars of the Roses<\/em> for the BBC in 2015. Sophie is one of our most visceral, emotionally connected actors and I have long thought she\u2019d be a brilliant Medea. I am over the moon that it\u2019s now happening as the second West End production for Fictionhouse, run by Kate Horton and myself. I\u2019m also really looking forward to working again with the super talented Ben Daniels after our hugely fulfilling collaboration on The Normal Heart<\/em> at the National Theatre. Ben and Sophie have been an explosive onstage partnership in the past and I can\u2019t wait to see them playing these iconic roles together in Nica Burns\u2019 thrilling new auditorium @sohoplace.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><\/div>\n[ad_2]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
