Phaedra's Love

Phaedra's Love is Sarah Kane's 1996 modern adaptation of Seneca's Phaedra. Kane’s play explores the brutal nature of love, social relations, nihilism and belief through the example of an affair between a queen and her stepson.It centres more on Hippolytus, (the original focuses more on Phaedra) who is rendered lazy and cynical by his upbringing as the son of King Theseus. It brings the classical greek story to life as all of the action happens on stage rather than off.
