Missouri State University Theatre and Dance Oedipus Rex

MISSOURI STATE UNIVERSITY presents:
Oedipus Rex
Directed by Sarah Wigging
Meet Oedipus and his agony that is to come. Never has a play been performed that conveys the idea of public exposure to private torture so hauntingly. Follow the king of Thebes as he discovers how lonely it is at the top of a kingdom and at the bottom of exile. One part detective story, quite possible the first, and one part drama, Oedipus Rex is everything that makes us human and monster. Follow the king through murder, prophecies, love, and being reunited to a past he only thought he knew. From strangers telling truths to babies being lost in mountains find out how blinding the works of Sophocles can really be, even thousands of years later.
