Tree of Oedipus

Tree of Oedipus, a new play developed by the Idea Theatre in Athens, Greece, gets its American — and English-language — premiere here in Cleveland. The play follows the lineage of Oedipus and chronicles his fall and redemption. Compiled from several ancient Greek tragedies, including The Phoenicians, Oedipus Tyrannus, Oedipus at Colonus, Antigone and Seven Against Thebes, the play features an English translation by current CSU theater major Christina Katsaras. Tonight's performance takes place at 7:30 at Helen Rosenfeld Lewis Bialosky Lab Theatre, where the play runs through April 14. Tickets cost $15. (Niesel)
