Heroines

Crowds pour into the streets of Athens to watch a trial unlike any the city has known. A scandal has split the royal household in two. On one side stands Theseus, the king remembered as a hero, the man who freed his people and killed the Minotaur, along with his stepson Hippolytus, a devout young man. On the other stands Phaedra, the queen, a princess of Crete, the daughter of an adulteress and the sister of a monster.

The men of Athens have gathered to establish what actually happened. The women watching from the sidelines know how hard the truth is to pin down, since every account has another version behind it.

Theirs is the version that has never been heard.
