About Oedipus
Election night looms with the promise of a landslide victory according to the polls. A seismic shift is on the horizon, poised to alter everything. Featuring the internationally acclaimed, multi-award-winning talents of Mark Strong and Lesley Manville, Sophocles’ grand tragedy undergoes a vital metamorphosis into a gripping, intense human drama. Following his revelatory interpretation of the Oresteia, visionary director Robert Icke (known for his work on 1984 and The Doctor) embarks on another bold reimagination of an Ancient Greek classic, unearthing the hidden truths of history and thrusting them into the contemporary spotlight. After successful performances at the Internationaal Theater Amsterdam and the Edinburgh Festival, Oedipus arrives at Wyndham’s Theatre for a strictly limited engagement.
