Oedipus Tickets

Oedipus Theatre Tickets

See an intriguing production with Oedipus tickets. The stage play written by Robert Ickes is a fresh take on the classic Greek tragedy by Sophocles, Oedipus Rex. In this adaptation, a battle of modern politics ensues as Oedipus, in his quest for leadership, awaits news from the polls. He is prematurely certain of his victory as questions about his background and true ethnicity began swirling. In addition, the matter of former ruler Laius’ death remains shrouded in mystery, and the fact that Laius was once married to Oedipus’ mother-wife, Jocasta, compounds the ensuing drama. 

The play was originally presented in Dutch with English subtitles at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2012 and ran for limited engagements in Amsterdam. In 2024, Oedipus premiered in English at Wyndham’s Theatre in London, featuring Olivier-winning actor Mark Strong in the title role and Lesley Manville (who portrayed Princess Catherine in The Crown) as Jocasta. Ickes has re-written other Greek narratives, penning Oretesia and winning a 2016 Olivier Award for Best Director.
