Phaedra's Love archiveHippolytus, 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+ In this radical retelling of Seneca's tragedy, the off-stage violence of classical theatre is thrust centre stage. Sarah Kane's brief career divided and shocked her audience. Her unflinchingly honest portraits are now central to the modern European repertoire and continue to challenge and inspire. Contains scenes of a violent and sexual nature. Running time 80 mins. no interval.
