Oedipus the King
"Oedipus the King" by Sophocles
October 12-13 - 7:30 p.m.
Parker Auditorium
Greek tragedy, directed by senior theatre major Christopher Neal. From ancient Greece, this play is the story of Oedipus, king of Thebes, a city suffering from a plague that will lift only when the unknown person who has offended the gods with a terrible sin is found and driven out. One of the great who-done-its of all time, the play leads us step by step to its stunning and unforgettable revelation — the picture of a good man confronting the fate from which he has spent his life trying to escape.
