A lonely housewife burns with uncontrollable passion for her stepson, to tragic results. In the 2024 McGill Classics Play, the captivating allure of 1950s melodrama sets the stage for Seneca's immortal tragedy, Phaedra. Set amidst the decadence of a bygone era, this production unveils the complexities of human nature, the devastating consequences of yielding to irresistible impulses, and the tragic interplay between nature and passion.
