A richly poetic adaptation of Euripides' Medea that blends the cultures of Ancient Greek and Indigenous storytelling to weave a bold and breathtaking commentary on contemporary experience.

In the 1870s a girl is born under a tree—her birth tree—chosen to give her strength and wisdom. When the tree is cut down she follows it into the white man's world, working as a cook for the big house on the island. Her tree has become a kitchen table. Now, generations later, a young man and his mother fight for ownership of the table.

Five plays from around the country that illustrate the rich tradition of Indigenous storytelling as it flourishes in contemporary theatre.
