		After the accession of Nero, Britannicus might perhaps have been permitted to live on in harmless insignificance, had he not been employed as an instrument by Agrip-pina for working upon the fears of her rebellious son.

	The Baldwin Project: Nero by Jacob Abbott
		Britannicus was two or three years younger than Nero, and being the son of the emperor was of course a very prominent and conspicuous object of attention whenever he appeared.
		When [114] inquired of in respect to Britannicus by those who had known him before, during his mother's lifetime, she replied that he was a weak and feeble child, subject to fits, and thus necessarily kept secluded from society.
		Britannicus was necessarily a rival and competitor for Nero; and every step in advance which he should make, could not operate otherwise than as an impediment and obstacle to Nero's success.

	The Baldwin Project: Nero by Jacob Abbott
		Britannicus was still alive, and he was after all the rightful heir, and since her son had proved him- [160] self so unworthy of the efforts and sacrifices that she had made for him, she would forthwith take measures to restore to Britannicus what she had so unjustly taken from him.
		As Britannicus proceeded in his song, and the meaning of it, in its application to his own case, began to be perceived, a universal sympathy for him was felt, by the whole assembly, and when he concluded and resumed his seat, the apartment [165] was filled with suppressed murmurs of applause.
		The preparations were accordingly made that same evening, and in the middle of the night the body of Britannicus was buried in the Field of Mars, a vast parade-ground in the precincts of the city.

		Britannicus, apparently quite clever despite his scant fourteen years, uses the poem he recites to “imply displacement from his father’s home and throne” (Annales, 290).
		Not only was Britannicus not more than child when Nero killed him, he was also enterprising and clever, as well as liked by the people of Rome, a status that always eluded Nero.

		Racine is all the rage at the Albery, where the intrepid Almeida Theatre in Islington, playing away and led by Dame Diana Rigg, has now added the obscure Britannicus to the rolling repertoire of performances of the classic Phedre.

		Snapping aspersions in a sleek pantsuit, she's dressed to kill and has the language to smother and wound, as well, and there's unlikely to be an audience member who doesn't succumb to her lethal embrace.
		As staged by Jonathan Kent, "Britannicus" follows the same director's "Phedre" as the second of two Racine revivals to open in repertory at the Albery Theater on the West End, under the commercial auspices of the far smaller Almeida playhouse across town.
		Britannicus may be relatively sidelined by the play that bares his name, but that's no fault of the fresh-faced McKidd (from "Trainspotting"), an actor whose seeming modernity matches a staging with at least one foot in the here-and-now.
