After a merciless punishment, Medusa loses her way—and her memory—traveling to the Underworld. She awakens at The Crossroads of Erebus, the land between life and death. Beguiled by the whispers of loyal but unreliable snakes in her ear, Medusa vows to return to the land of the living to take vengeance against the mortal enemy who led her to this state.

The plan gets sidetracked when Medusa meets Hekate, the goddess of The Crossroads. Refusing the torch bearer’s guidance, Medusa wanders down paths that illuminate shadows of her history. She remembers her earthly life as a priestess of Athena, the dark encounter with the gods that would forever transform her, and the mythical found family she created in the aftermath. As the echoes of the past return, will Medusa unleash a venomous bite of revenge on the world above, or embrace lost fragments of herself to find peace?

Witness the origins of one of the most enigmatic and misunderstood figures in mythology in Monstrous, a new play written by Stephanie Lewis.
