'Oedipus' performance at Grand Valley

Grand Valley State University Theatre and Department of Classics present “Oedipus,” April 13-14, at 7:30 p.m., Louis Armstrong Theatre in the Performing Arts Center, Allendale Campus.

The production emerges from the Classical Theatre Workshop, an interdisciplinary class team-taught by William Levitan from the Department of Classics and Karen Libman from Theatre. They are also co-directing the play.

This stunning version, translated by Ted Hughes from the classic story by Roman playwright Lucius Annaeus Seneca, presents a nightmare world of fear and passion, where human rationality is overwhelmed by the flood of forces beyond its control.

An original score by Todd Lewis was created using synthesized sound to capture the eerie, yet lyrical, environment.

Tickets are $6 general admission. For more information call the LAT Box Office at (616) 331-2300.
