National Theatre Live launched in June 2009 with a broadcast of Phèdre. Seen by over 50,000 people worldwide, don’t miss your chance to see an Encore screening of this smash hit production.

Helen Mirren takes the title role in this savage play by Jean Racine, translated into muscular free verse by the late Poet Laureate, Ted Hughes.

Consumed by an uncontrollable passion for her young stepson and believing Theseus, her absent husband, to be dead, Phèdre confesses her darkest desires and enters the world of nightmare. When Theseus returns alive and well, Phèdre, fearing exposure, accuses her stepson of rape.
