In Athens, crowds flock to witness the most shocking trial of the ancient world, which is about to shake the city to its very foundations. A scandalous accusation has ruptured the royal family in Athens. The king's son stands accused of rape. On the one side, Theseus: hero, king, slayer of the Minotaur, father of the accused. On the other, Phaedra: foreign queen, daughter of an adultress, sister of a monster. Now the men of Athens must decide the truth. But what of the women? They have been silent. Until now. |
