Helen Mirren (The Queen) and Dominic Cooper (Mamma Mia!) star in a new National Theatre production of Jean Racine’s 1677 classic tragedy Phaedra, directed by Nicholas Hytner. The production will co-star Margaret Tyzack and open in June 2009.
In a version by Ted Hughes, the story centres on a Greek myth about a queen who falls passionately in love with her stepson in her husband’s absence.

Hi
I’m afraid it is sold out – although the National Theatre does have a Day Seats programme – with tickets available from 9.30am on the day of performance.
Also Phedre is being broadcast to over 50 cinemas on 25 June as part of the NT Live scheme. Thanks
when will one be able to buy tickets for Phaedra?
want to buy tickets
hi
i don’t think they have published the full calendar yet – apart from the fact that it starts in June. I think it will appear shortly from the National Theatre.
cheers
I would like to know how long they are going to play Phaedra.
