Theatre Program Presents: Oedipus
October 14, 2018
Oedipus
Some twelve years before the play begins, Oedipus has been made King of Thebes by solving the riddle of the Sphinx freeing the people from a plague while unwittingly fulfilling a prophecy that he would kill his father, Laius and marry his mother, Jocasta. Now another plague is raging and the people come to Oedipus to rescue them once more. Oedipus must find the murderer of Laius in order to end the plague, unaware that the killer he is looking for is none other than himself. When the truth comes to light, Jocasta hangs herself and Oedipus gouges out his own eyes.
