A review by kleonard
Oedipus Trilogy: New Versions of Sophocles' Oedipus the King, Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone by Bryan Doerries

5.0

This contains not just a fine translation of the three Oedipus plays, but an outstanding introduction, in which editor and translator Bryan Doerries discusses his Theater of War Productions company and how putting on these plays among and for communities affected by racial violence, veterans with PTSD, and other groups struggling with trauma can help in the healing process. I was fascinated by this work and the way the company addresses social justice issues, eldercare, homelessness, and other contemporary issues. Highly recommended.
