An adaptation of Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex, placing the story in a post-Katrina political and psychological context! This production marks the five year commemoration of the storm and its aftermath. The play is designed to infuse the ageless archetypal quality of classical Greek drama with the temporal relevance of post-disaster New Orleans.

Author-Director David O'Donaghue, psychologist and philosopher, weaves an existential tale of human experience confronted with forces beyond human control.
