Description: Your woman ranting, who said this, who said that, who said the other, all boils down to the usual rigmarole. The Oracle says don't. The clodhopper says I will if I want. The Oracle flattens him, the clodhopper cuts out his eyes or the other clodhoppers cut them out for him, the clodhopper repents, the Oracle relents, everyone dies and they all live happily ever after until the whole malarkey begins again.
Marina Carr brings a contemporary lens to the pain and beauty of Sophocles' Theban trilogy, in two new plays published together here. This epic, darkly funny retelling of the story of Oedipus and his family continues Carr's vivid conversation with the foundations of modern drama.
