Fedra, Queen of Haiti By J. Nicole Brooks Directed by Ryan Hope Travis Drawing on the myth of Phaedra and Jean Racine’s Phèdre, J. Nicole Brooks crafts an Afrofuturist retelling set in a world where modern-day Haiti is a global superpower. When King Theseus is presumed dead, Queen Fedra becomes consumed by her forbidden love for her stepson, Hippolytus, setting off a chain of events that threatens both the royal family and the future of the kingdom. Blending classical tragedy with poetic language, sharp humor, and heightened emotional drama, Brooks explores desire, power, betrayal, and the personal cost of political change. |
