In 1927 Igor Stravinsky debutted the staged grand opera version of Oedipus rex. This constituted an example of Neo-classicism in the arts, and it's in this same vein that dramatists Jodie Allinson and Michael Carklin, headquartered in Cardiff, the Welsh capital city and an emerging British lively arts centre of innovation and activity, have written and are staging an exciting new piece for audiences.

The new School brings together the creative disciplines within the University of Glamorgan, including Art & Design, Media & Communication and Drama & Music.
Michael Carklin writes:
Dear Colleagues
Our students will be presenting a production of King Oedipus on the evenings of 6, 7, 8 and 9 February starting at 7.30pm here at the ATRiuM.
The production is co-directed by Jodie Allinson and me. Using the ancient Greek and ancient Roman versions of the play (by Sophocles and Seneca) as a starting point, we hope that this will be an intriguing, challenging and satisfying journey for the audience, exploring the story of Oedipus who, in trying to escape a prophecy that he will kill his father and marry his mother, discovers that he has inadvertently done just that.
King Oedipus, first performed around 2400 years ago, is widely regarded as one of the cornerstones of western drama and this production has offered drama students a stimulating opportunity to practically explore the production of this play for a contemporary audience.
Details on how to reserve tickets will be sent out shortly - but please note the dates of the performances. We would greatly value your support.
All the best
Michael
