Three Plays of Racine : Phaedra, Andromache, and Brittanicus

Rating:
Summary: Good play, great translation
Review: Racine's "Phaedra" is based on Euripedes' "Hippolytus", and it is a very respectable retelling of the story. Racine writes especially well in the imagery of light and darkness struggling in Phaedra's soul, which he puts in her first and final lines.

The translation by George Dillon is excellent.
