Oedipus [Old Vic]

Vengeance will be taken on the killer, then the land will be clean. The contamination will be washed away. The rains will come and the people will be healed.

"It's a cold case but, according to the Oracle, if the murderer of old King Laius is found and punished then all will be well. The people turn to their new King, Oedipus, the man who solved the riddle of the Sphinx, to hunt down the perpetrator and bring salvation. He vows to succeed whatever the cost and so begins an unstoppable pursuit of the truth through a harrowing labyrinth of fear and love.

The 2025 Old Vic run will star Academy Award-winner, Rami Malek, and Olivier Award-winner, Indira Varma (Present Laughter, Game of Thrones) in Ella Hickson's revelatory version of Sophocles' transcendent tragedy, co-directed by Matthew Warchus and Hofesh Shechter."
