""It is no mean task to capture for modern audiences the excitement that these Theban plays held for their original Greek audiences, distanced for us as they are by 2 500 years of reverence and the conventions of classical Greek drama. In this superb version of Oedipus the King - a coproduction of the BBC and Films for the Humanities - this task has been accomplished by means of a new, aggressively contemporary translation that remains true text; setting the plays in the past yet not the distant past, an indeterminate past; and, dispensing with masks, using the finest British classical actors. Sophocles often won the leading prize at the Dionysia, the principal dramatic festival of Athens; but Oedipus the King was a runner-up, winner of the second prize. Posterity, however, considers the play second to none. This play recounts the beginning of the Oedipus saga, setting the stage and creating the characters who will continue the story to its conclusion in Antigone.""
