The Country of Medea was staged at the Royal Drama Theatre in 2009. In the play, the ancient plot of Euripides' tragedy unfolds in the realities of the modern world. According to Stridsberg's version, Medea is a refugee who is denied the right to stay in the country after her husband's infidelity; a hospital patient whose mental state is recorded in her medical record: «By turns, catatonia, then hysteria. I'm crazy. Insane. Rejected. Frantic. Destroyed. Devastated. No longer knows love. Never knew love. She will never love again." «Country of Medea» is a modern look at the drama that playwrights, writers and artists have been turning to for more than two thousand years, the drama of a woman for whom the end of love becomes the end of everything.
