New World Repertory Theatre presents Phedra! December 4, 2009

Emotional, turbulent and sexy, Phèdra is a mythical labyrinth for the contemporary audience. Robert David MacDonald’s translation captures the dramatic beauty and power of Racine’s original French poetry. Based on ancient myths, the tragedy examines how love and unabated passions can destroy us all. "Phèdra" is cursed by the gods to love her step-son, Hippolytus, who hides a secret love affair of his own.

Show times:
Friday and Saturday at 7:30pm

Call 630-663-1489 for tickets. No tickets will be mailed. All advance ticket purchases and phone reservation tickets will be held at the box office.

New World Rep’s production of "Phèdra" will also be performed at Theatre Building Chicago following the initial Downers Grove run. Opens in Chicago on Thursday, January 21, 2010 and closes Sunday, February 14.
