| Sphinx |
| By Neil
Fleming |
| What choice did they have? |
| Sphinx is a bold re-working of the
Oedipus myth that takes a fresh look at political power, enforcement through
violence, and at sexual control. |
| Sphinx is the Pulp Fiction of the
ancient world, a dark, disturbing and bitterly funny take on the game
show of life. What the hell is destiny anyway? And who cares? Kings can
have anything and anyone they please. |
| The play was first performed as a
reading at the Old Vic rehearsal rooms on September 26 2002, directed
by Geoff Church, and performed by
Jan Blake, Chris Ettridge, Miranda Foster, Richard Wills-Cotton, David
Sterne and Jake Wood. |
| Hydrocracker plans a future production. |
