    Medea, a performance history is the first of the APGRD's free interactive/multimedia eBooks. The eBook draws on a unique collection of archival material and research at the APGRD and uses images, film, unique interviews and digital objects to tell the story of a play that has inspired countless interpretations, onstage and onscreen, in dance, drama and opera across the globe from antiquity to the present. It was written and curated by Fiona Macintosh and Claire Kenward, and built by Tom Wrobel.
