Η Alice is a girl entering puberty and her stepfather gradually begins to approach her sexually, until he repeatedly rapes her. She does not tell anyone what is happening to her and tries to find solutions to escape. She concludes that the only way to stop him is to study in a country town and get away from her rapist stepfather. At the same time, she decides that, since she cannot punish him for his actions, she will take revenge on men who, while they have everything (wife, family, job, money), are looking for the confirmation of a young woman. Driven by the myth of Medusa who stoned men, Alice decides to "stone" them, taking from them the stability that gives men confidence and power over women. She manages to escape and carry out her plan, but her stepfather follows her and continues to abuse her. Her role as Medusa transforms her from victim to perpetrator and her new life, culminating in love, makes her realize that she no longer wants to take revenge, but to live like any other girl. A play that touches on sexual abuse and gender-based violence.

Eliana -
Deep text with many meanings that make you think. It is a mirror of society. The fact that it is a theatrical text did not affect me at all, it is easy to read and understandable like a short story.
Helen -
A story worth reading. A book every library should have! An excellent psychograph of such a heroine, it could be another true story of those we now hear daily in the news.
Thespian -
It doesn't look like a play at all, it could be a short story. Easy to read and understand!
