Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex is regarded by many as the seminal drama of western civilization. In this original adaptation by Wabash Associate Professor of Theater Michael Abbott, Oedipus is once again put to the test. Does Oedipus deserve his fate? Is he a tragic hero? Can he, in fact, be considered a modern man?
