OEDIPUS THE KING

A law that still stands - Ignorance is no defence. Come judge for yourself.

Sophocles’ Oedipus the King is a gripping and fast moving-tragedy that follows a determined leader who will stop at nothing to save his city from a deadly plague. As Oedipus searches for the truth, he uncovers shocking secrets about his own past — truths that challenge everything he believes about himself, his family, and his future.

Come and experience one of the classics from the birth of western theatre in this powerful and accessible adaptation.

Advisory: Oedipus the King refers to mature themes, such as murder, the discovery of previously unknown familial relationships, and one suicide. No explicit content is depicted.
