London The Old Vic Theatre – Phedra – 1984 – Glenda Jackson
An original theatre programme for Phedra at The Old Vic Theatre, London, in 1984. The cast includes Glenda Jackson, Tim Woodward, Gerard Murphy and Joyce Redman.
The play is based on Jean Racine’s great tragedy of 1677, which retells the Greek myth of Phaedra, queen of Athens. She is consumed by a forbidden passion for her stepson Hippolytus, with fatal results.
A fine item of theatre memorabilia from Glenda Jackson’s celebrated classical stage work.
