Phaedra

P H A E D R A

A rotating glass box contains the action, allowing us a voyeuristic view into Phaedras spinning demise. Each of the five acts of the play gave us a totally new set inside the box with rapid scene changes made by an incredible crew in the Lyttelton Theatre. A home, a field, an empty office, a restaurant, a snowy hillside.
