The story of Oedipus is reimagined through the lens of public image, responsibility, power and human limits. Expect intensity, dark humour and scenes that teeter between political thriller and family tragedy.
Robert Icke, known to Greek audiences for his work on The Doctor and his adaptation of George Orwell’s 1984, returns with an Oedipus that is sure to spark discussion.
