This fresh take, by Los Angeles's Tony Award-winning Deaf West Theatre, is a bilingual production in American Sign Language and English.

"The production's grip on our attention tightens as the story unfolds. This is a credit both to the miracle of dramatic construction that is Sophocles' play and to the bold originality of some of the characterizations."
—Los Angeles Times
"OEDIPUS is a tragedy of operatic proportions. In Deaf West's hands, the quiet speaks volumes."
—Broadway World
"Deaf West has always been a sterling example that drama in its most distilled and powerful form does not require speech. Here, their approach to their work finds its ideal vessel in the roots of dramatic tradition. Oedipus is a haunting tale of fate, but the real destiny here may just be this perfect marriage of story and teller."
