Adopted from Euripedes’ 'Hippolytus', adapted by Jean Racine and now translated by Ted Hughes, our Phèdre brings together elements from each layer of interpretation and translation.

A modern-day setting provides a new stage for the ancient Greek themes of incest and suicide, while Racine’s stunningly visual poetry drives this story inevitably to its tragic climax.

The Director is Sarah Houillon from New College and Pembroke's Lily Begg is the Assistant Director and Production Manager.
