In the hands of Sophocles, the master dramatist, the anguished tale of a man fated to kill his father and marry his mother retains its power to shock and move beyond any Freudian reference.

In this new translation, performed by an outstanding cast led by Michael Sheen, the searing inevitablity facing Oedipus proves as shocking as it was 2.500 years ago when it was first presented in the theatre at Athens.
