Oedipus

British playwright and director Robert Icke—known to Greek audiences from “The Doctor” and his stage adaptation of George Orwell’s “1984”—retells the story of a powerful man who, overnight, discovers that he has, unknowingly, killed his father and slept with his mother, breathing new life into a myth that resonates and unsettles across the centuries.

Election night. A capable leader, the frontrunner in the race. The polls predict a landslide victory. A countdown ticks toward triumph. Everything is about to change.

Robert Icke’s “Oedipus” is published in Greek in a translation by Nikos Hatzopoulos, as part of the play’s presentation on the Onassis Stegi Main Stage during the season 2025-2026. Following a sold-out run in London’s West End, and almost right alongside its run on Broadway in New York, it is the play’s inaugural presentation in Greece, commissioned and curated by Onassis Stegi.
