When the tragedy is in the unavoidable consequences stemming from the human gift of all-consuming emotions............

Phèdre is based on the Greek mythology of Phaedra. The subject of the tragedy is taken from Euripides.

Não dou uma estrela porque a tradição está bonita. Quem teve a inteligência de colocar as didascálias no fim do livro merece uma morte lenta e dolorosa. Mas o mérito de anular o propósito inteiro do mito é tão e exclusivamente de Racine. Este é a pior tragédia sobre o mito de Fedra que li.

This is an incredible and innovative take on Euripides' Hippolytus tragedy. Putting Phedre in the spotlight and allowing everyone their own free will, it humanizes every and each characters immensely.
A very important and an incredible play. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
