Election night. The polls predict a landslide victory. Everything is about to change.
Award-winning writer and director Robert Icke transforms Sophocles' epic tragedy into an essential and explosive political thriller.
First performed in Dutch in 2018 at Internationaal Theater Amsterdam and the Edinburgh International Festival, this arresting version of Oedipus received its English-language premiere at Wyndham's Theatre in London's West End in 2024, produced by Sonia Friedman Productions, and starring Mark Strong and Lesley Manville. The production won Icke the Best Director Award at the 2025 Critics' Circle Theatre Awards, as well as Best Actor and Best Actress for its leads.
