Oedipus the King
Written by Sophocles
Translated by Stephen Berg and Diskin Clay
Directed by Jesse Bonnell
Wave after wave, the city of Thebes is stricken by plague, pestilence, and death: a punishment set upon them for a shame that is not their own. Told through a stark lens of haunting movement and dissonant song, Oedipus the King unveils Apollo’s darkest prophecy of a man seeking an unholy truth to save his people from rot and ruin.
