Abstract
The Emperor Nero is running, wild, leaving a mass of political and personal scandals in his wake. When he attempts to seduce the girlfriend of his half-brother Britannicus, Nero's mother, the mighty Agrippina, steps in to prevent him, and chaos ensues. Artistic Director Robert Woodruff directs Racine's magnificent play - part political thriller, part gripping family drama - which takes place at the locus of an empire where private and public world collide. Operatic in its passions and composed in some of the most beautiful poetry ever written for the stage, Britannicus is a tautly-plotted masterpiece.
