The Theatre & Performance Media Program at Eastern Connecticut State University is proud to present 'Oedipus the King', written by Sophocles, translated by Brian Doerries and Directed by Bob McGrath. Sophocles 'Oedipus the Kin'g tells the story of an overconfident ruler during the time of a great plague, who refuses to listen to trusted advisors, ignores prophecy, andafter launching an investigationdiscovers that he is the source of the contagion that is ravaging his people and his land. Upon uncovering the truth about himself and his role in the disaster, the king loses nearly everythinghis crown, his wife, his power, his country, his honorand wanders off into exile, a fate worse than death in ancient Greece. Oedipus the King is a timeless story about leadership, accountability, and the challenges faced by citizens and elected officials during pandemics and plagues.Oedipus the King will be presented in the Fine Arts Instructional Center's Proscenium Theater from October 11 through October 16, 2022; October 11, 12, 14 and 16 at 7:30 p.m., October 13 at 5:30 p.m., October 14 at 11:00 a.m. and October 16 at 4:00 p.m. (please note there is no show on October 15, 2022.)For more information about this production please visit: https://www.easternct.edu/theatre/productions/oedipus.htmlFor reservations, phone the box office at (860) 465-5123 or email theatreboxoffice@easternct.edu.
