THE OEDIPAL DUPLEX, Nov. 6 – 22, 2009
November 2009 Ghost Light Theatricals will be featuring not one but two new adaptations of Oedipus Rex. The first of the world premieres, written by Ghost Light Literary Manager Matt Lyman, is an adaption of Oedipus Rex aptly titled Mother PhΩcker. As a second act, Ghost Light proudly presents BATTLE OF THE BARDS winner Blinding Pains, a sitcom style comedy written by company members David Van Wert and Ben Newton. Blinding Pains features Oedipus Rex (as a restaurant owner in Phoenix, Arizona) as well as many of the craziest characters in classical drama. The Oedipal Duplex plays at TPS Theatre 4, on the fourth floor of the Center House in Seattle Center, at 7:30 p.m. the first three weekends of November. Stay tuned for more information soon!
