WELCOME TO A RENAISSANCE OF THE UNDEAD.
Polyphonic Bonsai's inaugural season presents The Oedipus Revenant Trilogy, an original horror adaptation of Sophocles' classic Oedipus Cycle along with two short satires.
Oedipus Revenant
October/November
Trying to end Thebes’
plague, Oedipus discovers he may be its undead cause.
Undead Oedipus!
JANUARY
Is the vampire killer Count
Oedipus the very killer vampire he seeks? A satire of
Oedipus Revenant where
the groans come in two varieties—undead and unfunny!
Oedipus Reborn
February
For Oedipus, exile is all
that remains.
But the undead must not
roam the countryside unchecked.
Young Oedipus
APRIL
A parody of Oedipus
Reborn, join Oedipustein on a madcap dash to lay his own bones to rest!
Will he rest in peace or in pieces?
Either way, the play’s a real cut-up!
The Unburied Dead
of Thebes
MAY
The dead will rise, gods
will walk the Earth, and Thebes will be judged.
