Tragedy, lust and comedy in Oedipussy

Oedipussy

Published on Saturday 28 January 2012 09:00

SPYMONKEY return to the Royal & Derngate with the brilliantly funny Oedipussy, which takes to the Royal stage from Friday until February 18 before embarking on a national tour.

Inspired by Barbarella and a little bit of Bond, Spymonkey turn their unique brand of theatrical invention to this greatest of tragic tales bringing it to life in typically outrageous fashion.

Hot on the heels of their acclaimed Moby Dick, Spymonkey’s hilarious physical comedy combines with the playful storytelling of Kneehigh’s artistic director Emma Rice (Brief Encounter) and writing partner Carl Grose to create an outrageous no-holds-barred subversion of the quintessential Greek tragedy.

The result is a tale of forbidden lust, accidental incest, violent murder and the ultimate dysfunctional family: a jealous father, a messed-up son, and one mother of a brilliant comedy.

For tickets call the box office 01604 624811 or visit www.royalandderngate.co.uk.
