Immerse yourself in the poignant world of Oedipus at Colonus, one of the masterful Theban plays by the celebrated Athenian tragedian Sophocles. Written just before his death in 406 BC and later produced by his grandson at the Festival of Dionysus in 401 BC, this play takes place after the harrowing events of Oedipus the King and before Antigone. In it, we witness the tragic conclusion of Oedipus life as he arrives in Colonus, a village near Athens and Sophocles birthplace, accompanied by his daughters, Antigone and Ismene. As they seek refuge and support from Theseus, the king of Athens, the play explores themes of fate, redemption, and the quest for peace.
