Oedipus at Colonus (1986)

World-class acting, and a great translation. Too bad the sound quality is so poor.

South Carolina TV put this on?!?!?

i hope you know that the chorus with 20s suits isnt ancient greece fashion lol

Can anyone explain the clothes choices?

The one I remember watching was Iphigenia at Aulis with Roy Marsden and Fiona Shaw, I thought it was absolutely brilliant but haven't been able to see it since.

My god those subtitles provide a take on this play one could never imagine

A rare production of a famous play, marred by an orchestral background that competes with the text. Adding subtitles makes it much easier to understand, especially given the low volume of this upload.

And this also answers one bit of Neil Gaiman's 'The Sand Man' Terrifying Goddesses nightmare creatures from the mind's darkness and primaeval earth - "The Kindly Ones" [The Furies].

I had this and lost it. Thank you.
Anthony Quayle is brilliant, and what a perfect supporting cast. Theseus is my hero.

LOUDER!

NEED MORE VOLUME!!!!!!!

Too much music, again.

Why don't they just dress like ancient Greeks?

Thanks. The "Oresteia" that you mention in the notes is sometimes called "The Serpent Son." Cheers.

do the fornite do the fortite do the fortnite

Thank you for posting this! This was wonderful, and the actor that played Oedipus was outstanding!

Thank you!! I've been looking for this one. I think it's impossible to buy.

Been looking for this for a decade, thanks for posting it.
