Oedipus.Complex
Play by Irina D
with images by Pato Bosich.
Three Highgate Editions, 2022.
This irreverent take on the classic tragedy of Oedipus is told from the perspective of an aging Pythia, the Delphic oracle who infamously prophesied that Oedipus would kill his father and marry his mother. Through Pythia’s feisty and cynical voice, Irina D comically re-interprets famous mythical references in modern, rationalist terms; whilst her choral poetry reconnects the audience to the story’s tragic roots.
