The Sunday Play: Phedre

on BBC Radio 3

Acclaimed New York theatre company the Wooster Group direct and perform this powerful interpretation of Racine's 17th-century tale of passion and political intrigue in ancient Greece. The group's distinctive performance techniques - characterised by an almost subversive fascination with modern technology and contemporary culture - bring renewed vigour to the play's universal themes of privacy, loyalty, the ordinary and the extraordinary.
