Oedipus is the King of Thebes, but he is not Theban. Oedipus saved Thebes when he solved the Riddle of the Sphinx. Can he allow his ignorance to be the cause of new jeopardy?

The 2004 Cambridge Greek Play presents a unique collaboration; directed by Annie Castledine ('a maverick visionary' - The Guardian, June 2004) and designed by Stephen Brimson Lewis, it will explore new approaches to the modern performance of Greek tragedy, and will be performed in ancient Greek, with surtitles.
