Phaedra @ Shotgun are in a couple Top 10′s

“Ancient myth reborn as a suburban tale of fatal stepmotherly attraction, Adam Bock’s rewrite made a classical tragedy of forbidden passion new with irresistible immediacy. Rose Riordan’s sleek staging of the Shotgun Players’ world premiere and the strong cast headed by Catherine Castellanos delivered a compelling portrait of marriage as an uneasy truce and parenting as a minefield.”
Robert Hurwitt, Chronicle Theater Critic

“Every time Bock comes back to the Bay Area he shows us yet another facet of his extraordinary talent. This spin on a classic allowed Shotgun to wow us with an eye-popping set and a central performance by Catherine Castellanos that echoed for months afterward.”
Chad Jones, Theaterdogs

“..my favorite had to be Adam Bock’s modern retelling of Phaedra, the Racine (by way of Euripides and Seneca) tragedy about a powerful man’s wife who’s fallen in love with her stepson—a young man who decidedly does not feel the same way. In Bock’s version the husband’s not a hero-king but a high court judge, and the son is a recovering drug addict trying desperately not to screw up again. But the focus is on Phaedra’s—or in this case Catherine’s—helpless discontent and monstrous self-delusion, achingly captured in Catherine Castellanos’s performance.”
