National Theatre at Home

Phaedra (2023x9)

:

After years of fierce focus on her political career, a politician turns her attention to her personal life. The reappearance of a figure from her past shakes the foundations of her house and the beliefs that have underpinned her power. Writer-Director Simon Stone reimagines Seneca’s famous tragedy in this striking new play, with Assaad Bouab making his London stage debut alongside an Oliver Award-nominated performance from Janet McTeer. Filmed live at the National Theatre's Lyttelton Theatre in 2023.
