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. Stridsberg's version of Medea is a refugee who, after her husband's betrayal, is denied the right to stay in the country; a hospital patient whose mental state is recorded in her medical record: "By turns, catatonia and hysteria. I'm crazy. Insane. Rejected. Frantic. Destroyed. Devastated. No longer knows love. Never knew love. Will never love again". "CountryMedea is a modern take on the drama that playwrights, writers and artists have been turning to for over two thousand years - the drama of a woman for whom the end of love becomes the end of everything.
