Details

The Medium is a wild and darkly comic flight of fancy, a fast and furious fantasy. An old lady reads palms, tells stories (real or dreamed?) about her past life, shares her sexual imaginings, playing out many roles in the process - maid and mistress, child, priest, male spirit, dog and crab. And as we watch in a mixture of laughter and horror, we are impelled to consider whether she truly is the medium of the title or just a crazed old lady trapped in a torturous hell of her own creation.
