      Nobody did lust, love and lies better than the Greeks.

      The controversial lost version of Euripides’ original play was said to have painted Phaedra as a woman who pursued her desires relentlessly.

      Hippolytus Veiled is the story of the lost play.

      Emerging playwright Nathan Joe brings his own unique spin to Hippolytus Veiled, combining the exuberant and poetic language of the Greeks with sharp and brutal modern prose. Winner of the 2015 Playmarket b425 award, the judges described it as “ambitious, dynamic, hilarious and frightening all at once.”

      Directed by Patrick Graham
