I haven't read "Oedipus at Colonus" in years, but all three plays are timeless.

I don't believe there is a more human story than "Oedipus Rex." If you haven't felt like Oedipus at Fate's complete and life-shattering mercy, than you certainly will--just wait!

The struggle with one's pride is an eternal struggle. We all want to have complete control over our lives; we all want to feel like we can create our own destinies. Unfortunately Life (a.k.a. the Greek gods) loves to throw curveballs. These plays help me navigate Life's damn curveballs.
