Phaedra
adapted by Adam Bock
directed by Rose Riordan

LUST. BETRAYAL. HOME.

Lodged in an unsatisfying marriage, still in her sexual prime, Phaedra indulges in a secret obsession for a younger man. Adding fuel to the fire, the object of her desire also happens to be her husband's son. It’s a story about what happens when passion is given free rein over reason, an ardent and tabloid-worthy tragedy of 20th century suburbia. Obie Award Winner Adam Bock returns to Shotgun Players with a riveting modern adaptation of Racine's classic tale.

"forbidden passion is made new with irresistible immediacy in Adam Bock's PHAEDRA." - The San Francisco Chronicle

Sound fair? Good. Now grab that keyboard and break it down.
