Oedipus the King is the story of a ruler brought down by his own oath, unknowingly in conflict with himself. It has the tension of a terrifying detective story. Oedipus at Colonus ends the aged king's nightmare of self-discovery. His sins finally atoned, he 'sees' in his blindness and reaches a secret place of eternal rest.

This is a print of the National Theatre 1996 production poster for The Oedipus Plays. The bookshop has collaborated with the team to bring you an exclusive collection of custom prints taken from original National Theatre artworks.
