Phaedra's Love

Work:: Phaedra's Love (S0636105691)

Hippolytus, the numb and depressed heir to the throne sits in squalor, repelled by the hypocritical world he loathes to inhabit. He endeavours to fill life's void with excess - but nothing can satiate him. Phaedra, his stepmother, burns with desire for him. Her love rejected, she ignites a chain of events that finally give Hippolytus what he longs for. 16+

Sarah Kane

Production:: (T01083826130)
