Oedipus

It’s election night. The polls predict a landslide victory. Everything is about to change.

Robert Icke—the youngest Olivier Award-winning director in history—transforms Sophocles’ epic tragedy into an essential, explosive, sensual human thriller catapulting the secrets of the past into a high-stakes present. Led by Olivier Award winner Mark Strong as Oedipus—reprising his celebrated role from the West End—and Academy Award nominee Lesley Manville—who is making her Broadway debut after garnering the Olivier Award for her performance as Jocasta—this production “set the stage on fire” (The Guardian).

Oedipus recently received two Olivier Awards, including Best Revival of a Play and Best Actress (Lesley Manville), as well as three UK Critics’ Circle Theater Awards including Best Director (Icke), Best Actor (Mark Strong), and Best Actress (Lesley Manville), cementing it as one of the most celebrated theatrical events of the year.
