Phaedra, By Racine: The Classic Greek Tragedy of Forbidden Passion – A 17th-Century French Masterpiece
Phaedra By Racine Jean
Phaedra is consumed with passion for Hippolytus, her stepson. Believing her husband dead, she confesses her love to him and is rebuffed. When her husband returns alive, Phaedra convinces him that it was Hippolytus who attempted to seduce her. In his interpretation, Racine replaced the stylized tragedy with human-scale characters and actions. Introduction by Richard Wilbur.
