Phedre Playwright
|
Phedre The myth of Phaedra is one of the most powerful phedre playwright and haunting in all of classical mythology. As dramatized by the French playwright Jean Racine (1639-1699), the dying queen's obsessive love for her stepson, Hippolytus, phedre playwright and the scrupulously upright Hippolytus's love for the forbidden beauty Aricia has come to be regarded as one of the great stories of tragic infatuation, the model for dozens of works about twisted family love. Ted Hughes's tough, unrhyming avalanche of a translation (Paul Taylor, The Independent) replaces Racine's alexandrines with an English verse that serves eloquently to convey the protagonists' passions. The translation, performed to acclaim in London in 1998, will be staged at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in 1999, starring Diana Rigg. We are still catching up with Ted Hughes's gift for narrative verse after his Tales from Ovid, one English critic observed after the premiere. Little needs to happen on stage when there's a swirling action-packed disaster movie -- riddled with sex phedre playwright and violence -- in Hughes's free verse. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
