THE Palace Theatre will welcome back Foursight Theatre on Tuesday following the company's previous production of Six Dead Queens and an Inflatable Henry.

The Wolverhampton-based company will perform a new translation of Euripides' Medea, a play which continues Foursight's tradition of revisiting the lives of some of history's most fascinating women.

The play is set for a 32-date tour across the country and Foursight Theatre is the first to stage John Harrison's translation for Cambridge University Press.

Artistic director Naomi Cooke said: "Medea is about a mother who is driven to the edge and kills both her sons.

"Even though it was written around the third century BC it has startling significance to modern times."

Tickets cost £6, £5 (disc rate) or £4 (with Reddicard) from the box office on 65203.
