Jean Racine
The action takes place at the summer palace at Troezene.
Based on Euripides' 'Hippolytus' and the 'Phaedra of Seneca', Phaedra's main theme is the tragic misunderstanding between men and women. A wife falls violently in love with her unresponsive stepson while her husband and father fail to understand.
