This production is extremely helpful for my distance learning students to review while we cover it in-person in class. Thank you so much for making this available!
7th August, 2024 I watched it now, I have always preferred books. Being a literature student, I have read hundreds of books, but this performance, this depiction of characters, the portrayal of emotions, it was really something that changed my interests completely. To be very honest, I wish I could just keep my mobile aside, stand up, clap and cheer excitedly with my tear filled eyes and can just tell you how heart touching every single person has been! 🎉 No matter how hard I try, my words won't be enough to explain what I am feeling right now, but there's one thing I would say to you all, "Thank you so much for performing the way it should have been performed!!" ❤
@@nicolaswalker3937 Pleasure is all mine ❤️ They deserved much more appreciation than this. Their ways of communication, those emotions, everything was so REAL and just PERFECT ❤️
Thank you very much for this! I decided this week to start an old idea: I got a book on the history of literature, with essays and a list of books, and I started reading them. It might take my whole life and never finish, finishing it is not the point, I will see where it takes me. I started with the greeks. Having read Homer, I went to the plays. I thought it could be better to watch the plays than to read then, and I don't think I was wrong. This was wonderful (I cried and all...). Anyway, thank you very much for the production and the filming and posting it! Hail the internet!
The chorus does a great job! Normally in modern times the chorus is not used, and is looked down upon. But the man and woman who do the lines are great, as well acted as if they were the main actors in the play.
Thank you so much for this! I thoroughly enjoyed it even though I didn't expect to- But I absolutely adore theatre and mythologies and this just scratched the itch. Along with helping me with my school struggles! The captions along with the amazing performance made this an unforgettable experience, so I'll be happy to write about how this story made me feel once I get the test 💕
I've watched this fifteen times, and I just wish Oedipus would make the right choice by now. It makes me feel like I am trapped and a puppet being ground down by something pernicious that hides it's awful face behind the veil of this universe. True horror, and I'm afraid.
Great performance. I like that you went for a Classical look and setting, intending it as close as possible as it was originally played. Of course we cannot know what theatre was two thousand years ago, but we more definitely know what it wasn't like. The acting and translation is great, too, and brings passion and clarity to the original text.

I'm not sure why this randomly came up in my feed, but I'm glad it did. Great production, and a nice, relaxing way to spend a Saturday morning. I only wish more of Sophocles' work had survived.
I loved it so much, so I have chosen to write about this play in my essay. I have some important questions. 1. What is the name of the theater company? 2. How did the show make itself known? By dissemination through posters, printed advertising, via the internet, etc.? 3. Which audience attended the show? Mostly adults, teenagers? 4. Did management seek to follow tradition or to follow a new reading? In what light and through what resources? Thank you!
Hello Gwen. 1) The name of the Organization is Apollo Arts. The actors are independent but work in collaboration with A. A. 2) We advertise in traditional ways, print media, online, to the local community in Northern California and some is word of mouth. 3) Mostly Adults but some parents bring their children and some Teens come on their own, but mostly adults. However a few teens were in the play; Oedipus' daughters, some of the Townspeople in the beginning scene and the boy with the blind prophet. 4) We, the acting company, have a good bit of leeway in how we interpret it but we tend to work from a classical viewpoint rather than an avant garde one.
WOW, THAT WAS AWESOME!!! Great job to all of the Actors, that was a great performance 👏👏👏👏 That must've been very hard for Oedipus to take in all of that bad news, I feel bad for him... Anyways again great job 👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the comment. Yes, masks can add a lot to a production in terms of mystery, drama, etc. but there is too a down side. A mask can also create a barrier between the actor and audience. The ancient Greeks had their own reasons for using masks, some of which don't exist nowadays; for instance all actors were males, so a mask made sense if a man was playing a woman. Also, in those times, there was only a Chorus composed of amateur citizens and two or three professional actors, so each one played several roles, which again made the masks more practical and necessary.
Poetically: the for an 'ere done unto you let your punishment fit the crime. Normally: Murdering four people for bonking you on the head is a bit much.
this is a fantastic production, but are we all just going to gloss over the part where she said "don't worry about sleeping with your mother, everyone has dreams about it" and everyone is just like "yeah that's common"
i don't think she said that. i think she said, "what man in dreams is not laying with his mother!" and by that i think she meant that almost every man in this world has lied down with their mother at some point of their life(as a child). she says only in dreams is it possible for a man to not have slept with their own mother, by which she means that it's very rare otherwise. that's just my interpretation.
I love this play so much! I'm using it for one of my theater critique papers. Is there anyway you could tell me the names of the cast please? Thanks in advance!
Excellent production. I really enjoyed it, such a nice translation and quality. Is there somewhere I could watch more productions by this company? I would really appreciate it. . Wish you good fortune and success in anything else you put on, good work!
Thanks, Diego! We are presently working on Euripides' The Trojan Women, which is scheduled to be performed live in August 2021. We will release an online (zoom) version of the play in a few weeks.
Thanks for granting many of us access to see this play! I have a question, the description box says who the director is, but who wrote the play in the format it is on now, seeing as its different from the original? Please answer
amazing play and amazing performance. i thoroughly enjoyed it. but i have few questions. I mean it was a curse for King Laius but it seems like he didn't even have to live through it. Where as his child(Oedipus), was the cursed one really and HIS children afterwards but not as much. and why was the Kingdom punished for what Oedipus did. He only fulfilled his prophecy, which by the way was inevitable because he clearly tried to stop it from happening, which again seems unfair towards him. It's like the the whole generation was cursed except for King Laius for something King Laius did lol.
Thanks for the comment; you are right, the curse doesn't make sense in a logical way. But part of the Greek civilization and their beliefs was that the justice of the gods was not always fair. This is also part of the idea of Catharsis; as unfair as it might seem there is no "court of appeal" and they (the gods) get the last word, so the mortals only recourse is to accept. Oedipus, from one angle, did everything right to avoid the curse but ended up "meeting his fate on the road he chose to avoid it." This play, more than any other embodies the principle of Fate, as the Greeks understood it.
Man, Oedipus gets a bad rap in modern society. The Greek Gods really did mess with the people of Greece for their own amusement, didn't they? Then again... Perhaps murdering four people for receiving a bonk on the head is bit of an overreaction.

Hello!! I really enjoyed this production! I'm doing a paper about theater performance for college, and I would like to know about somethings. (if you remember it and could divulge these infos, that'll help me a lot ^^) 1) Why you chose these kind of woven and colors? 2) What was the intent of the lighting during the play? 3)How it was to direct this play? 4) What was the final reaction of the public? 5) How did the distribution of roles take place? Thank you very much in advance :)
Thank you Giovanna. Regarding your questions: 1) We used the checkerboard pattern for the Chorus because it seemed to indicate something of the idea of Fate, which is a major theme of the play. We wanted the colors for the Chorus to be vivid, to contrast with the muted colors of the townspeople and to indicate their important function in the play. 2) We did not have a special lighting intent, just tried to make sure all the actors were well lit if they were the focus of the scene. 3) I enjoyed directing this play as it is considered one of the greatest plays that have come down to us from ancient times. It was also one of Aristotle's favorite plays. 4) It was well received judging from comments I received from audience members.5) Casting is very important to the success of a play. If a play is well cast it has a much better chance of being accepted. We tried to cast each actor to the role they were best suited for.
@@nicolaswalker3937 Thanks a lot!!! And what about the main characters' costumes? I was also curious about this... Do their colors have a special meaning? (specially Oedipus, Tiresias and Jocasta)
@@giovanna1292 Hello Giovanna, No, the colors of the costumes of Oedipus and Tiresias do not have any special significance. The idea for Oedipus' robe came from a costume I saw in a museum in Greece, from an Oedipus performance around 400 years ago. I did like it that Jocasta's costume was white; a kind of contrast to the overall darkness of the play.
Thank You Thank you! Really enjoyed this performance! Just one question: which translation is this based on. I am using the Penguin Classics' Three Theban Plays translated by Robert Fagles as text. Although I can correctly match the dialogues, I find the translation used in this performance to be excellent.
We used David Grene's version as a model but we re-rendered it to make it more "actable." We also reworked a few odd lines from lesser known versions whenever we found something that resonated and stitched it all together.
There were about 400 in the audience for each performance. The theater looks empty from the footage but most people sit in the center aisles so the outer aisles are mostly empty.
If taken on a literal basis one could say it's a dark play, and not a very believable one at that. But if taken metaphorically or symbolically the play contains a lot of wisdom.
It was great, I would like to ask who's the narrator, chorus, extraordinary, representatives. I need it on my assignment 😍. I need more info about the play. Thank you so much
Oglethorpe theatre HISTORY is waaaaaatching, this is good stuff y'all
Thank you!

Respectfully, Why would you assign an hour and half video 😑
You helped me with my homework... thanks cheif
Our pleasure!
Same champ
This production was so gripping! The dialogue and the acting! Very well done! Happy to find a good production of the classic Oedipus.
It bothers me that so many students view this only for their school assignments and yet find no appreciation for these classics.
i read it for fun and more than once. love it one of my favorite plays ever!
I blame Sigmund Freud for projecting his paraphilias on this play, i thought this was going to be much worse than it actually was.
I am NOT here for class. I'm just here for the good show. Congratulations on this wonderful production!
Classic performance by everyone... I loved it... 😍
Thank you!
Really ❤️👍
I see a lot of schools and classes, but I'm just enjoying for the fact of enjoyment
I'm thankful for my teacher giving us this kind of assignment. If she didn't gave us this assignment I'll never see this masterpiece.

We're happy we could help!
What was the (approximate) number of seats in the audience?
There were about 400 in the audience for each performance. The theater looks empty from the footage but most people sit in the center aisles so the outer aisles are mostly empty.
What translation is this? It’s very good.
It's a re-rendering of several translations. David Grene's was one we used as a starting point.
Oedipus Schmedipus. I love ya, ma!
increased playback speed - what a difference.
Can you please tell the songs or sounds you use because i cant identify them and i need for our report.. please help me
Is the guy playing Tiresias actually blind? Some of his eye movements are too good to be fake.
He's not blind but he rehearsed using a blindfold.
Wat to do 🤣 don't wanna watch but it's for assignment
My college was supposed to do this show this year but postponed due to covid I didn’t audition because this show is way too dark
If taken on a literal basis one could say it's a dark play, and not a very believable one at that. But if taken metaphorically or symbolically the play contains a lot of wisdom.
great work! (from France). What is the music at 33:39 ? Thanks!
Thanks for the comment. Christodoulos Halaris - Anthology of Byzantine Secular Music vol. II. It shows up around the 10 minute mark or so.
I would like to follow from the text itself while played, which translation is it; may I ask?

It was great, I would like to ask who's the narrator, chorus, extraordinary, representatives. I need it on my assignment 😍. I need more info about the play. Thank you so much
Hello Faith, there was no narrator in this play, just the characters. The writer was the great Greek playwright Euripides.
I subscribed, this is so helpful
We're happy to help.
