Catch Olivier award winners Mark Strong and Lesley Manville in a thrilling, modern take on the classic Greek tragedy Oedipus in a limited run in London's West End.
Following critically acclaimed and sold-out runs at the Edinburgh Festival and Internationaal Theatre Amsterdam, Robert Icke's production of Oedipus arrives in London's West End. Olivier award winners Mark Strong and Lesley Manville take center stage, bringing their talent to this fresh interpretation of Sophocles' ancient Greek tragedy reimagined for modern times. Olivier-winning Icke is known for reinventing classing theatre stories to attract younger audiences. These include his adaptations of Oresteia, Mary Stuart, and 1984.
The story
Sophocles' original Oedipus Rex, a cornerstone of Greek tragedy, tells the story of a king unwittingly fated to kill his father and marry his mother. Robert Icke's production opens on a tense election night, with polls predicting a landslide victory. But behind every powerful man is a woman, and Jocasta is no exception. As the truth unfolds, the lines between past and present blur, forcing Oedipus to confront a chilling prophecy and a shocking secret that could shatter everything he holds dear. Will he find redemption, or will his past consume him? Book tickets for Oedipus in London's Wyndham's Theatre to find out!

Forestillingen var fremragende. Hr. Strong og fru Mansville var medrivende, og de medvirkende var vidunderlige. Sæderne var gode, og lokalet var smukt!

The cast, designers, director, writer and everyone else involved. This was a beautiful production. Edge of my seat the entire time. I'm an old lady who's seen thousands of plays on and off Broadway and a few in London and this was the greatest evening at the theater ever. Yay to all the people who made it happen. I'm also an actor and I bow down to all the actors in this play. Holy moly, I'm still thinking about it.
