Synopsis
Oedipus Rex
The story of Oedipus' gradual discovery of his primal crime, killing his father and marrying his mother, filmed by the famed British theatrical director Sir Tyrone Guthrie. This elegant version of Sophocles' play adds a brilliant stroke: the actors wear masks just as the Greeks did in the playwright's day.
Origin
1896. Left behind in the family manor, young Mary plays hide and seek with the servant, Beth. But as the game unfolds, she realises Beth isn’t the only one searching for her… Something else is lurking in the dark. And it’s ready to play.
