With no Kitten show in sight this weekend, may we recommend theatrical art at it's finest…. The MBS production of the theatre classic Oedipus Rex!
Oedipus Rex has fascinated audiences for millennia.
This play tells the story of Oedipus and his quest to discover the cause of the plague affecting Thebes. His search leads him to a series of revelations, each more horrific than the next culminating in the most intense and disturbing ending of any play ever written.
This new translation by Ian Johnston is dynamic, yet doesn't lose sight of the beauty of Sophocles' poetry while at the same time making it accessible to modern audiences. He has received countless accolades for his work and we are pleased to be the first company he's granted permission to mount a production of his new translation.
This production will be staged by the same team that brought you last year's critically acclaimed Dante:Inferno.
