Phèdre

Text: François Gremaud after Jean Racine. Designed and directed by François Gremaud. With : Romain Daroles

A little gem of wit, knowledge and inventiveness, this "Phèdre" deserves its exclamation point.

In this lively production, presented as a (fake) lecture on Racine's masterpiece, the tragedy is transformed into a zany monologue! Alone on stage, actor Romain Daroles reveals his passion for the thwarted love affair between the wife of the King of Athens and her stepson Hippolyte.

It's a wonderful way to reconnect with classical theater.
