in 2015 sarks directed "medea" for the gate theatre, with a british cast. michael billington at "the guardian" wrote that the production "genuinely makes us see an old play through new eyes", and described seeing the action from the point of view of medea's children: "the brilliance of the idea is that it offers a wholly plausible picture of the way children react to domestic upheaval with a mixture of alarm and excitement." the "financial times" described it as "gloriously fresh, and wise far beyond its years", and "the telegraph" described it as "powerfully naturalistic", "thick with the tension of anticipation".
