Concrete Playground

What's the worst thing you could do on your 21st? Get the wrong friend to give the wrong speech? Vomit back into the yard glass and then continue drinking? Pick a theme that doesn't contain the elements of both wit and style? Hah, these are all the playful antics of pre-adults compared to the biggie: you end up murdering your father and seducing your mother.

Cut to Thebes, where King Oedipus is chatting to Dr Freud about how he experienced deja vu the first time he saw his wife's vagina. And it's all about to go down hill from there. Featuring live music and remixing by the talented Dublin theatre outfit, Pan Pan, this is the work that Sophocles and Jean Cocteau would've produced had they lived together and been Irish. Possibly.
