Summary:

Oedipus' political and personal tragedies are unveiled in this modern interpretation of Sophocles' classic play. Translated by E.F. Watling, this 1972 BBC production stars Ian Holm as the condemned king who must find the man responsible for killing his predecessor, Laius, to end the plague in Thebes, only to uncover a truth far more disturbing than imagined.
