Rossella De Venuto

The rise and fall of a modern Phaedra, in a tale set in the gangster world of primal violence, power and revenge. This no-holds-barred retelling of Euripides’ masterpiece pits its protagonist against the male-dominated remnants of power and entitlement, in the shadow of the Roman Empire in contemporary Italy.

A couple inherits their family's ancient Italian palazzo where sinister shadows from the past reappear.
