This captivating audiobook features four neo-classical tragedies by Jean-Baptiste Racine, one of the great 17th-century French playwrights, showcasing an impressive array of talent from star-studded casts including Timothy West, Prunella Scales, and Geraldine McEwan. Each play, blending Ancient Greek themes with French classical style, delves into profound human emotions and conflicts: in Phaedra, a queen battles her obsessive love; Andromache presents a tragic love triangle amidst war; Mithridates explores sibling rivalry and treachery; while Berenice grapples with duty versus desire in a heart-wrenching love story. Experience the timeless power of Racine's dramatic storytelling through this remarkable collection.
