Phaedra

Klappentext The poet Edwin Morgan has translated this French classic tragedy, with its measured and highly formal rhetoric, into a vigorous, specific idiom: a Glaswegian-based Scots. He considers it at once true to the drama and psychology of Racine's play, but also answers the dramatic needs of modern theatre. His aim is to make the play speak with immediacy and to remove the hushed respect with which Racine is often presented.
