Phedre January 24, 2010

In this explosive world premiere production, A.C.T. joins forces with one of the most thrilling theater companies in the world, the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, giving audiences a rare opportunity to witness exquisite classical acting from this prestigious Canadian company in its Bay Area debut. Stratford star actor Seana McKenna plays Phedre, a woman caught in an agonizing love triangle with her husband, King Theseus of Athens, and his son by a former marriage. As passions erupt, will her desire for a younger man overwhelm her duty to her husband, her children and her kingdom?
