Dans cette patrie de l'imaginaire qu'est la Grèce, dont les légendes onttant nourri notre inconscient, Phèdre, épouse de Thésée, est tombée amoureuse d'Hippolyte, son beau-fils. Prise entre sa passion et son devoir, transie d'amour et dévorée de culpabilité, elle erre dans le palais royal, cherchant l'amour d'Hippolyte autant qu'elle le fuit. Pour Freud, se heurter au tabou de l'inceste, c'est se condamner à mort : alors seulement le jour reprend sa pureté. Et Phèdre, la plus trouble des héroïnes de Racine, devra faire face aux conséquences de ses actes. Psychologie, mythe, récit épique, ici tout est violence. Le véritable monstre ne sort pas des flots : il est enfermé dans l'héroïne.

Seller: World of Books Inc, Montgomery, IL, U.S.A.
Condition: Good. A lean, high-tension version of a classic tragedy. The myth of Phaedra is one of the most powerful in all of classical mythology. As dramatized by the French playwright Jean Racine (1639-99), the dying Queen's obsessive love for her stepson, Hippolytus, and the scrupulously upright Hippolytus' love for the forbidden beauty Aricia has come to be known as one of the great stories of tragic infatuation, a tale of love strong enough to bring down a kingdom. In this tough, unrhyming avalanche of a translation (Paul Taylor, The Independent), Hughes replaces Racine's alexandrines with an English verse that serves eloquently to convey the passions of his protagonists. The translation was performed to acclaim in London in 1998, and the London production, starring Diana Rigg, was staged in 1999 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. We are still catching up with Ted Hughes's gift for narrative verse after his Tales from Ovid, one English critic observed after the London premiere. Little needs to happen on stage when there's a swirling action-packed disaster movie-riddled with sex and violence-in Hughes's free verse. Seller Inventory # CIN2070387631G
