Review of 'Phaedra (Faber Plays)' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Greek families! Histrionics, rash reaction instead of considered response, inability to control emotion. Tragedy.

Bonus GR only bit: So if Goodreads was ever a family, it's now clear that it was one that escaped from a Greek Tragedy. It's fairly obvious that all the things in the first sentence of this review can be applied to the GR family - the only questions now is how many corpses are going to pile up as the Tragedy unfolds and whether we can summon a Diety to resolve the conflict for the future...no sign of Athena yet, more's the pity.
