Mojada (A Medea in Los Angeles)

 A stunning production of Luis Alfaro's play about a woman trapped by rules and laws that make her an easy prey. Building on Euripedes's play and the all-too-common circumstances of immigrants into the US from Mexico, the play avails itself of the the obvious (a woman betrayed by her ambitious husband) and the less obvious (curanderos, traditional healers attributed with magical powers) parallels between its protagonist and the sorceress Medea of Greek legend. Powerful performance by Camila Moreno as Medea.
