Continuing their exploration of Ancient Greek drama that started with The Bacchae, Classic Stage Ireland return with one of the founding myths of Western literature, Sophocles' Oedipus the King: a powerful tale of the quest for truth at any cost...
The city of Thebes is stricken by plague, its women are barren and its crops failing. Among the suffering citizens is a man polluted by his past, and only his banishment can return the city to its former glory.
As Oedipus, the king of Thebes, embarks on an exhaustive search for the man responsible, he unknowingly begins to expose the truth: his single-minded determination uncovers a revelation that will change the course of his life forever.
