Oedipus
Election night. The polls predict a landslide victory. Everything is about to change.
Direct from a sold-out, record-breaking, Olivier Award-winning West End run, Sophocles’ epic tragedy is transformed into an explosive political thriller. Visionary director Robert Icke – the youngest Olivier Award-winning director in history – reimagines Ancient Greek mythology to bring the secrets of the past bursting into the present. Starring Olivier Award winner Mark Strong (Kingsman) and Academy Award® nominee Lesley Manville (The Crown), Oedipus on Broadway is “a gasp-inducing tale of truth and lies that sets the stage on fire” (The Guardian).
"Electrifying! Down-to-the-cuticles nail-biting suspense. Mark Strong and Lesley Manville are superb." - The New York Times, Critic's Pick
"Pulse-pounding and thrilling! Mark Strong and Lesley Manville are ferocious." - New York Post
"Rare, magnificent, and totally of the moment. The entire play feels like an edge-of-your-seat climax." - The Washington Post
