Ralph Fiennes

The people of Thebes look to Oedipus to lift a terrible curse from them and their city. He consults the oracle and learns that he must root out the late king's murderer. But his relentless interrogation of one man after another leads inexorably, and in the space of a single day, to his own savage conclusion. Sophocles’ magnificent tragedy in an intense and raw new version by Frank McGuinness.
