About

In this visually rich, innovative reimagining of Sophocles’s classic play, King Oedipus is confronted not only with legacy and destiny, but also culture and language as he uncovers the multiple truths of his terrible fate to kill his father and marry his mother. This fresh take, by Los Angeles’s Tony Award-winning Deaf West Theatre, is a bilingual production in American Sign Language and English.

Directed and adapted by Jenny Koons
