From the press release:
Columbia University School of the Arts presents Phaedra’s Love,by Sarah Kane , a directing thesis production by current student Danica Selem.
Experience the haunting intensity of Sarah Kane’s Phaedra’s Love, a gripping theatrical masterpiece that flips inside out the very abject nature of the most elemental epitome of human relations – a family. In Kane’s blunt and vulgar adaptation of Seneca’s Phaedra, a seemingly joyous birthday celebration descends into a harrowing tale of passion, delusion, domination, and the tangled webs of human brutality.
