Selected Press clips....
"Medea
is a tragic tale of Greek love gone terribly wrong: boy meets girl, girl forsakes
family, girl has babies, boy leaves girl, girl goes nuts and kills children
and mistress. Jay Scheib and his La MaMa theater troupe have turned Euripides'
saga on its head – putting the beginning at the end and ending with
the beginning."
The Medea by Ashley Harrell & Adam Raymond for Paper
Mag
"...much food for
thought and makes a familiar work seem new, rich, and strange again"
The Medea review by Loren Noveck for nytheatre.com
"Mr. Scheib has
attracted a considerable following for his intelligent visuals and audacious
way around a text. ...."
A Great, Wide-Ranging, Sloppy Mess That's Noisy & Clever to Boot
By HELEN SHAW for The New York Sun, Arts and Letters Jan.
17, 2005
"…...presumptuous...
Mr. Scheib has not mounted a traditional interpretation.. (he) strips the
drama down to only the most utilitarian prose. "
The Beginning by Jason Zinoman for the New York Times,
Jan 20 2005
"Scheib turns the
binoculars around…brilliantly...excellent, intelligent theatrecraft
at work here. Don’t miss this one."
The Medea reviewed by Jessica Slote for Theater2k
"The Medea,
conceived and directed by Jay Scheib, makes admirable strides in changing
our concept of the play by addressing not just its emotional content but its
structure as well...well acted and interestingly concieved ... always engaging."
