Jason is marrying a young, beautiful "trophy bride" and Medea is pissed. In award-winning director Stefan Novinski's production, the wedding guests celebrate in the opulent hotel ballroom, while Medea is in the adjacent kitchen plotting her revenge amid the gleaming stainless steel, the hanging pots, and the knives.
