As he approaches the end of a lengthy prison sentence, Oedipus is ready to taste his long-awaited freedom. But liberation comes at a price, and life on the outside proves its own kind of prison ruled by a cruel and violent fate. Based on Sophocles’ classic tale, Oedipus El Rey is an urgent examination of modern institutions, social barriers and the power of storytelling for those bold enough to challenge the gods of our time.
Oedipus El Rey is published as part of The Greek Trilogy of Luis Alfaro. Based on Sophocles' Electra and Oedipus, and Euripides' Medea, Alfaro's Electricidad, Oedipus El Rey, and Mojada: A Medea in Los Angeles platform the concerns of the Chicano and wider Latino communities in Los Angeles and New York through ancient drama. Three Bone Theatre is proud to produce all three works of this trilogy across three seasons.

"An adaptation that feels both urgently relevant and timeless…Alfaro illuminates the ancient themes of the Oedipus story in thrillingly modern ways, giving us a new appreciation for the myth.” - THEATREMANIA

“…OEDIPUS EL REY dazzles…[it] strikes to the bone of one of our more disturbing ancient legends and gives it new, breathtakingly vital life.” - SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS

“What Sophocles left offstage—the violence, the sex—[OEDIPUS EL REY] confidently stages…This gives [the play] swagger, oomph and economy... a grim and dynamic reminder that…stories matter, old ones and new ones, true ones and fake ones.” - NEW YORK TIMES
