Plays of Sophocles: Oedipus the King; Oedipus at Colonus; Antigone

In the ancient city of Thebes, a once‑prosperous realm now trembles under a mysterious plague that withers crops, sickens livestock, and steals the hope of its people. The celebrated king Oedipus, praised for solving the riddle of the Sphinx, is summoned by desperate citizens and priests to uncover the source of the curse. Confident and compassionate, he vows to cleanse the city, even if the truth demands a painful search through old rumors and hidden sins.

Joined by the blind seer Tiresias, a wary chorus of elders, and his own determined family, Oedipus begins a tense inquiry that pits royal authority against the inexorable voice of prophecy. The drama unfolds as accusations rise, secrets surface, and the king confronts the unsettling possibility that the city's fate may be tied to his own past actions. Listeners are drawn into a timeless exploration of guilt, responsibility, and the limits of human insight.
