Hippolytus/Phedra

Phedra is Queen of Athens, and wife to the legendary King Theseus. Her stepson Hippolytus has sworn himself to chastity, serving the goddess Artemis—and maddening Aphrodite, who curses Phaedra to fall in love with him. Luis Quintero, playwright of the award-winning Medea: Re-Versed, pens a new rap version of the classical myth, set in a world where rhythm fuels reckoning and desire can destroy. Phedra and Hippolytus clash in a charged lyrical duel, drawn together by a forbidden desire as dangerous as it is inevitable. As they fight to resist repeating Theseus' legacy, the line between passion and harm blurs, turning every verse to one question: Where does love end, and violence begin?
