timeless tragedy

As a plague ravages Thebes, the citizens turn to their leadership. Oedipus is an extraordinary hero: courageous, flawed, determined to do what he must to protect his community—even if it means his own undoing. From the mists of Greece comes this compelling story of fate, human nature, and the devastating peril of secrets.

APPROXIMATE RUN TIME: 1 hour and 40 minutes, with no intermission

Oedipus contains profanity and descriptions of incest, murder, suicide, and self-mutilation. Recommended for patrons 9th grade and above.
