Oedipus Rekt

Recommended by

  • John Medlin: Oedipus Rekt

    You know, I feel like this short play is how the interaction between Apollo and Oeddy would play out. Apollo clownin around, as he's prone to do, and Oedipus grappling with the startling realization that he's both slept with and birthed a lineage with his mother. This play is funny af. The banter is immensely enjoyable. The jokes are executed quite well. I could definitely see this play doing numbers at a one act festival for theatre people.
