An Emerson student film production is looking for talented actors and actresses for its neoclassical gothic adaptation of Euripedes' Medea.

Guaranteed screening at local venues and will be submitted to festivals as a segment of a student-directed greek myth anthology (much like in the format of Paris Je'taime)

In need of two lead roles:

MEDEA (25-35)
distinctly foreign, intelligent and charismatic woman who is socially isolated from her husband's culture and community - when her husband breaks their vows and leaves her for a woman of a higher status, she is heart broken but seeks ultimate revenge. She has the capacity to and sacrifice for love.

JASON (25-35)

a renoun ambitious hero who left his wife to marry another for power. Has the inherent ability to seem down-to-earth and charming, but his greed, ego, and inconsiderate actions lead to devastating consequences.

Supporting Roles (nonspeaking):

SON (1-3) Medea and Jason's 2 year old child with a cherubic appearance -
has one voiceover line and the actor will NOT be involved in any violence
during the shoot.

MEDEA'S FATHER (40-50)

KING (40-50)

PRINCESS (20-35)

MEDEA'S BROTHER (20-35)

Extras:

Celebration Hall guests
