"medea Redux"
A woman sits alone at an institutional table, chain smoking. She describes a sexual relationship she had, at thirteen, with her junior high school arts and sciences teacher. Later as she struggles, young, pregnant and alone, she idealizes and protects her former lover, refusing to judge him. Eventually she takes her young child to meet his father, who is married and has no children. The woman then describes how she murdered her son, without giving the audience any clear motive for the act, but presumably because she knows that it will cause her former teacher pain even though it is clear from her descriptions that she also dearly loves her child.
