Corona Cold Reads: Robinson Jeffers’ Medea

My Entertainment World

During the COVID-19 lockdowns, to deal with isolation and lack of live theatre, we started gathering some of our favourite people every Tuesday & Saturday night to read scripts over Zoom. We read all 38 Shakespeare plays in six months. Then we kept going. We decided to create mini-seasons featuring highlights from the canons of major writers across generations, plus a few bonus episodes thrown in.

All of our readings are available to enjoy as full videos on our YouTube page but we’re also releasing them in audio form so they can be accessed through your favourite podcast app.

This episode features the premiere of our Modern Greeks season, contemporary interpretations of the classics. We begin with Robinson Jeffers’ poetic adaptation of Medea.
