Oedipus a Murder Mystery

Translated by Dudley Fitts & Robert Fitzgerald 

Directed by Anna Makauskas

Oedipus the King unfolds as a murder mystery, a political thriller, and a psychological whodunit. Throughout this mythic story of patricide and incest, Sophocles emphasizes the irony of a man determined to track down, expose, and punish an assassin, who turns out to be himself.
