Euripides
Medea is an ancient Greek tragedy written by Euripides, based upon the myth of Jason and Medea and first produced in 431 BC. The plot centers on the actions of Medea, a former princess of the "barbarian" kingdom of Colchis, and the wife of Jason; she finds her position in the Greek world threatened as Jason leaves her for a Greek princess of Corinth. Medea takes vengeance on Jason by murdering Jason's new wife as well as her own children, after which she escapes to Athens to start a new life.

I'm happy that through audiobooks we (and the younger generation) can explore the classic tales of old in a completely different way. It's a totally different experience!
Loved it, well done :)

While the above quote is from the Tyler Perry character, the Medea of Euripides' play would likely understand the sentiment quite well. Adultery, betrayal, feminism, revenge, murder, 'Medea' has it all, and demonstrates how great Greek tragedies can be. This is an excellent production of the classic story, and Jonathan Waters does a fantastic job narrating. He not only does voices for the characters, which greatly aids in differentiating between speakers, but his tone and delivery are excellent as well. While the language is a bit archaic (Shakespearean) and can be a little confusing at times, I found this added to the gravity of the story.
I greatly enjoyed listening to this production, and would recommend it.

The narration by Jonathan Waters is excellent. He performs the whole thing as a one man stage production, with different voices and intonations for each character, and for the narrator/stage directions. He imparts emotion into the whole thing. It really feels like multiple people doing a play, not just one man. Really enjoyable work by Waters.
