As he approaches the end of a lengthy prison sentence, Oedipus is ready to taste his long-awaited freedom. But liberation comes at a price, and life on the outside proves its own kind of prison ruled by a cruel and violent fate. Based on Sophocles’ classic tale, Oedipus El Rey is an examination of modern institutions, social barriers and the power of storytelling for those bold enough to challenge the gods of our time. This final piece in Luiz Alfaro’s trilogy is “…an adaptation that feels both urgently relevant and timeless.”

In present-day Oklahoma, a young Cherokee lawyer defends the inherent jurisdiction of the Cherokee Nation in the U.S. Supreme Court. In doing so, she must wrestle with the actions of her ancestors. Alternating between the 1830s and present-day America, this epic story examines the fateful treaty that divided the Cherokee Nation’s lands and the painful repercussions descendants still live with today. Sovereignty deftly weaves this complicated political history with personal identity and truth-bearing.
