''Medea, the Musical'' is a 1994 musical comedy by American playwright John Fisher. The play, a farce, concerns a theater director's attempt to recast ''Medea'', the ancient Greek tragedy by Euripides, as a serious modern commentary on LGBT culture, which goes humorously wrong when the director's cast and crew refuse to conform to the stereotyped roles he has created for them. The play became a long-running "cult favorite" in San Francisco in the mid 1990s before touring regionally. ==Characters== *The "Auteur", or theater director, who has rewritten ''Medea'' and is now trying to rehearse and stage the play, portrayed in some productions by Fisher himself *Paul, who plays Jason in the production, and while not acting is lead singer of a disco band, the Argonauts *Elsa, who plays Medea *Actors playing Phaedra, Hippolytus, Aphrodite, the King of Colchis, Eros, Apsyrtus, and other mythological figures from the Greek play *The piano player and stage manager *"The rocker", a young gay rock star〔 *Princess Tamalpa (a mythical Miwok Indian woman after whom Mount Tamalpais is named)〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Medea, the Musical」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
