Ralph Fiennes heads an all-star cast in this new version of Sophocles horribly dark tragedy, adapted by Irish playwright Frank McGuinness and also starring Alan Howard and Clare Higgins. That's quite an array of talent and this version should have audiences electrified.
Oedipus is pretty much edge-of-the-seat stuff anyway, as the people of Thebes look to their king to find the cause of their terrible curse, and his bloody, ruthless inquiry takes him in a horrible, inevitable direction.
