4.0 out of 5 stars Good play, great translation, November 25, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Three Plays of Racine: Phaedra, Andromache, and Brittanicus (Phoenix Books) (Paperback)
Racine's "Phaedra" is based on Euripedes' "Hippolytus", and it is a very respectable retelling of the story. Racine writes especially well in the imagery of light and darkness struggling in Phaedra's soul, which he puts in her first and final lines.

The translation by George Dillon is excellent.
