A furious, fearless imagining of Medusa’s story

Medusa

By Erin Shields

Before the serpents, before the legend, there was a woman caught in a world that feared her power. Pulled through time from ancient myth to a modern day Rage Room, Medusa is a raw, electrifying dive into female fury - the kind that’s been silenced, punished and finally set free. As she grapples with the voices that haunt her, the forces that shape her, and the rage that refuses to be contained, Medusa immerses audiences in a world where women’s fury is both feared and necessary.

Visceral, theatrical, and unflinching, this is a story that will either release your inner serpents or turn you to stone.

Production History

The World Premiere of Medusa is scheduled for June 16, 2026 - July 19, 2026, produced by Soulpepper Theatre in collaboration with Outside the March directed by Mitchell Cushman
