Oedipus at Festival Theatre

Built in 1953, the Festival Theatre's revolutionary thrust stage provides a theatrical experience so profound, it has inspired look-alikes around the world. Originally housed in a tent, the stage now sits in an iconic example of Modernist architecture. 

The theatre offers special access seating on the orchestra level.
