The project involves presenting all the plays connected with the myth of Oedipus in one cycle, something that is without precedent. As such, in the run up to the Olympic Games and during them the theatre will show; 'Oedpius Tyrannus', Oedpius at Colonus', 'Antigone', 'Seven Against Thebes' and 'The Phoenician Women'. It is hoped the project will be part of the Cultural Olympiad and will engage more people in theatre in this deprived area of London.
