Play review - "Phaedera" by Seneca

Phaedera was a woman from Greek mythology who married a king but fell for her step son. Rejected, she seeks revenge, he dies... but she goes on to die. At least that's Seneca's take. I'd never read an Ancient Rome play before - lots of people standing around talking about their feelings/what's happened as opposed to being things dramatised, but there is some action. But it was more enjoyable than I thought it'd be.
