- Synopsis
- 'Time turns, sets a backward course, starts for the start with speed: the fragile moments drop unravelling, reversing, unwound, back to the beginning.' Election night. The polls predict a landslide victory. Everything is about to change. Award-winning writer and director Robert Icke transforms Sophocles' epic tragedy into an essential and explosive political thriller. First performed in Dutch in 2018 at Internationaal Theater Amsterdam and the Edinburgh International Festival, this arresting version of Oedipus received its English-language premiere at Wyndham's Theatre in London's West End in 2024, produced by Sonia Friedman Productions, and starring Mark Strong and Lesley Manville. 'Robert Icke is the great hope of British theatre' Time Out
