The document provides details on the theatrical design concept for a production of Medea. The design concept envisions Medea in a coma, with most of the play taking place in her mind. The primary scene is a stark, sterile hospital room meant to create a dark, foreboding, and broken mood. A broken mirror is used as a visual metaphor to represent Medea's shattered psyche. Elements of design like jagged lines, triangular shapes, and high contrast are used to achieve this stylistic and simplistic but visually striking production design.
