Phaedra's Love

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Phaedra's Love is Sarah Kane's 1996 modern adaptation of Seneca's Phaedra. It centres on Hippolytus, who is rendered lazy and cynical by his upbringing as the son of King Theseus. The kingdom and his family are eventually destroyed by incest, suicide, rape and apathy. In the play Kane employs several techniques that she used throughout her short career, such as her frank depiction of physical, emotional and sexual violence, "in your face" dialogue and tragic plot structure.
