Phèdre used to be a devoted wife and a model mother but that was so many months ago. Now her secret desires are becoming harder to hide as an attraction to her maturing stepson becomes inescapable and all-enveloping. Impossible passions and absolute taboos combust in Jean Racine's Phèdre. This unshakable classic tragedy, dating back to Ancient Greece, remains the reigning champion and dramatic golden standard for salacious and scandalous familial dysfunction.
