Phaedra Backwards drags Greek Mythology into the 21st century complete with old greek names and the Minotaur.I found it well acted and pretty well thought out but The Maximalist was in the minority about the well scripted part. As I was leaving the theater the general consensus was that it was a "well-acted something", but most people were not sure of what that something was.
Luckily, Max loves Greek mythology and is aware of why Phaedra's mom gave birth to the Minotaur...this rationale was left out. McCarter sadly assumed people were very familiar with the story and would "get it". They didn't.
I have always been partial to this story.
Keep Poseidon in Phaedra, please.
