Phedre at Cutting Ball Theater

Phedre by Jean Racine in a new translation by Rob Melrose and directed by Ariel Craft. Secret desires unleashed, ruinous deceits perpetrated, a once-noble family destroyed... Isn't it astonishing what loneliness can do to a person? Once a devoted wife and a model mother, Phedre's resolve swiftly cracks as the attraction to her maturing stepson becomes inescapable and all-enveloping. Impossible passions and absolute taboos clash in Racine's classic, Phedre, the reigning champion of salacious and scandalous familial dysfunction with roots in ancient Greek tragedy.
