Published in 1989 and produced in 1995 by Vineyard Theatre in New York City.
The story is told by a narrator who is trapped in a compulsive re-telling of Phaedra's love for her step-son Hippolytus
Using a glibly ironic narrator and a chorus of baffled household servants Ms. Egloff takes the Euripides tale as an occasion to comment on the world view and devices of classical tragedy.
