2012.12.6. Oedipus el Rey at ACT Theatre

Ese Teatro presents Luis Alfaro's new play Oedipus el Rey, a retelling of Greek legend in LA's Latino underworld. Despite all our efforts, fate rules. I'm a little disappointed as how the theme played out: almost no change from the original tragedy, except for one insignificant change: the LA Oedipus was raised by Tiresias. I was hoping for a slightly different ending. Good acting. Almost no stage set. I like the vertical bed scene, quite clever in a small theatre.
