Oedipus El Rey by Luis Alfaro

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.”
