The year is 425 BCE, and the great tragedian Sophocles is determined to win the theatre contest at the City Dionysia. Accompanied by a certain Austrian Psychologist, who’s more than eager to use the play to develop some new wildly inaccurate theories, he presents Oedipus Rex: The story of one man’s tragic end aided by an ordeal concerning his in laws, ASNaCs, singing puppets, terrible parodies of cult classic noughties movies and an identity crisis.
