By Zoë Atkinson, Matthew Lutton & Tom Wright

We know how the Oedipus story ends: he murders his father and unwittingly marries his mother. But where did this shattering tragedy begin?

On the Misconception of Oedipus turns its eye to Jocasta and Laius, the parents who birthed a child that would bring about their downfall, and in so doing brought into the world more than a man — they created a myth.

Can we really say what Oedipus’crime was? Attempting to recreate the true turn of events may actually be an impossible task, as memories lie and unseen forces (call it science or blame it on the gods) will always shape our destiny.

This unprecedented take on one of history’s most enduring legends is a theatrically fearless and unexpected excavation into the murky love that built a tragedy.

Supported through The Engine Room by CAL Cultural Fund.

Unconventional and Endlessly Inventive, The Lutton Theatre experience is intoxicating - The West Australian
