An angry storm looms over mankind.  A deadly prophecy has provoked panic in the streets. A royal birth spawns incest, denial & murder.

Oedipus – find out why you can’t leave your fate behind.

Tropic Sun strips bare the notorious story of Oedipus using unforgettable imagery, and unique soundscapes to bring you a powerfully confronting and enduring theatrical experience.

Oedipus born 427BC, still alive and kicking!
