“But how could you live and have no story to tell?”
Oedipus in Jail
Written and developed with Michael Crowley, with support of Arts Council England.
Four male prisoners compelled to undergo a victim awareness course, collaborate on a comic re-enactment of a pantomime to evade the stories they’d rather not tell. When they agree to dramatise their own crimes, they gradually find themselves becoming prisoners in an ancient story: a tale of shame and savage self-delusion, from which each must find his own way out.
O-i-J received various readings including the Manchester 24/7 Festival, the King’s Arms, Salford, and Gustavus Adolphus college, Minnesota.
