BLURB

Oedipus by David Daniel is a riveting adaptation of the classic Greek tragedy, reimagined with a modern poetic drive. This new version maintains the soul of the original while infusing it with fresh energy and cadence for modern audiences. The innovative use of a Greek chorus adds a dynamic layer to the storytelling. This chorus not only echoes the ancient tradition but also serves as a bridge between the characters and the audience, heightening the emotional resonance of the narrative. The writing style is a masterful blend of classic and modern elements, striking a balance that is both respectful of the original material and boldly inventive.
