Nina Kristofferson Liverpool Everyman Review Medea

Liverpool Everyman
…Medea, brilliantly played by Nina Kristofferson, bursts onto the stage instantly exuding the shrewd intelligence of her character, with an energy that does not falter throughout….

Whats On Stage
…we see an extremely strong Medea in Nina Kristofferson. She is black, beautiful, and heroic. Nina is hardly ever off stage and she gives a mesmerizing performance. Her hurt is tangible, her anger and gall physical. She moves with grace, and her facial contortions tell a tale of guile and scheming…

Telegraph Review of Medea Oxford Playhouse

Oxford Playhouse
…In its favour, and pretty much its only favour, actor/director Barrie Rutter has cast a striking, sure-footed young black actress, Nina Kristofferson, as the displaced enchantress whose loving devotions have curdled into vengeful hate. In an alluring greeny-blue silky dress, hair cascading down her back, Kristofferson convinces as a wounded tigress – caged by sexist circumstance in Corinth – who suddenly scents victory and the means to have horrific sport with those who have goaded her…

It’s a classic case of stand well back and watch the leading lady rage in this stirring Greek tragedy…

…it’s awe inspiring to watch just how much intense emotion Nina Kristofferson puts into the title role.

As Medea, Nina Kristofferson gave such an intense, impassioned performance that she carried the whole play, and while she was on stage she dominated it entirely. The style of the production is eclectic…

The wonderful Barrie Rutter takes a back seat for this production and lets two superb actors steal the show, in the lead role of Medea is played superbly by Nina Kristofferson whose very presence on stage was enough for the audience to realise that this is an actor of worthy note and whose acting ability will surely take her ever onwards.

In the title role, Nina Kristofferson is a striking presence, graceful yet hellish in her wrath, the very soul of the gifted barbarian, deceived by her husband and lashing out with thrilling heat and chilling calculation at a society that would suppress an immigrant woman.

Nina Kristofferson as Medea puts in a performance of such powerful vitriol that any would-be philanderer in the audience will be sleeping with one eye open for the foreseeable future.

…the central performances are crisp and coruscating. Nina Kristofferson’s Medea is a creature of fire and ice, one minute lacerating the ears of the Corinthians with vengeful invective, the next all kittenish as she wheedles and beseeches them.

In the title role, Nina Kristofferson starts with an intensity that seems must inevitably flag; amazingly, it – and she – doesn’t. On stage for the whole play, uninterrupted even by an interval, she takes us on an intense dramatic journey without ever releasing her grip. Being the only ’southerner’ in the cast chimes well…

Kristofferson is often frighteningly convincing in her malevolence scheming, during which she she swings from shouting to quiet vulnerability.

http://www.catalystmedia.org.uk/reviews/medea.php

Nina Kristofferson does a fine job as Medea using her body and full range of emotions to express the rage felt by the character. She obviously understands the genre that is Greek Tragedy and works hard to portray her emotions through her movement and clear words…
