PHAEDRA

BY EMILY RENÉE
PRESENTED BY ALRA & ROSE BRUFORD

Newly-married Phaedra arrives at her husband’s holiday home in the south of France in the blistering summer heat. Alone. There’s a fully stocked wine cellar, staff at her fingertips, and a crystal-clear private lake. But when her stepson Leo shows up uninvited, Phaedra’s newfound hedonism takes her on an unexpected journey. 

In a world where everything is allowed and nothing is impossible, what are the limits of our desire? A new, intoxicating re-imagining of the myth of Phaedra exploring our hunger for self-fulfillment in the modern world, and the stories we tell one another to try and make sense of it all. 

31 MAY - 2 JUNE
7:30PM (TUE-THU)
2:30PM (WED)
£6
