ARGUABLY the greatest Greek tragedy of them all, Oedipus is universal and ground-breaking. As the legend that breaks the ultimate taboo, it's an epic journey of emotion, from the pinnacles of love to the depths of despair, exploring the very basis of who we are.
Now, for the very first time, Steven Berkoff's thundering adaptation of the Oedipus legend is brought to the stage by acclaimed company, Blackeyed Theatre at the Brewery this Thursday, February 28 at 8pm.
Faithful to the original and told with the
same power of classical Greek theatre, Berkoff's incredible play offers a modern edge, with an Oedipus incapable of seeing the inevitable truth and condemned not only by fate but by his own arrogance and self-importance.
Unknowingly and unstoppably, he seals his own downfall as events build to a gripping, unforgettable climax.
Blackeyed Theatre Company was established in 2004 with the aim of producing enjoyable and challenging theatre at venues throughout England.
They put an emphasis on modern classics and syllabus texts, and strive to make their productions as accessible as possible to both new and established audiences.
