The Oedipus Plays (AmazonClassics Edition)

In this revised edition of Sophocles’s iconic Greek tragedies, "Oedipus the King," "Oedipus at Colonus," and "Antigone," the fate of Thebes unfolds across three generations, marked by tragedy and prophecy. Oedipus seeks to uncover the truth behind his predecessor's murder to lift a devastating curse, only to face dire revelations about his own life. Now a blind beggar, his journey continues to intertwine with those of his family, as the battle for control of Thebes pits moral law against the edicts of rulers, leaving characters like Antigone and her sister Ismene at the mercy of fate. The performances by the Pigeon Creek Shakespeare Company bring these timeless tales to life, exploring the weight of history and the inevitable consequences of human choices.
