Seana McKenna definitely is doing an amazing job - she is one scary woman up on that stage and everybody else, though absolutely fabulous, too, had to pale next to her!
fantastic play! very much recommended...

sorry to say I share the same view as B. Wilfong.
It was the play I most anticipated seeing this season, which was probably my undoing. Seana McKenna as Phedre, that will be something to see, I thought.
I found the whole thing (seen August 18th matinee) to be lifeless, only occasionally (very occasionally) sparking to life.
I wish more attention had been paid to the actors and to using the space effectively rather than the sumptuous costumes and wigs.
Very disappointing.
