Who: All for One Solo Theater
What: Another Medea
Where: The Wild Project, 195 East Third St. between Aves. A & B, 212-228-1195
When: January 14-31, $40-$60
Why: When this one-man show, written and directed by Aaron Mark and inspired by Euripides’ Medea myth, played the All for One Theater Festival in fall 2013, we were absolutely blown away by it, hoping it would soon return for a longer run; the play we called “as intense and gripping a show as you’re ever likely to see” is now scheduled for sixteen performances this month at the Wild Project, once again starring Broadway veteran Tom Hewitt (The Rocky Horror Show, Chicago, The Lion King, Jesus Christ Superstar), who we said in October 2013 “is nothing short of breathtaking, immersing himself in the role of an extremely complex and conflicted character whose crime is unfortunately all too familiar in these difficult times. His mastery of the material is stunning, poetically delivered without calling attention to itself.” You can read our full review of Another Medea, which deals with a man imprisoned for committing a horrific act, here.
