Scapegoat Carnivale Theatre returns to Centaur Theatre’s Brave New Looks for the fourth time following their award-winning productions of Medea and The Bacchae, with a new adaptation of Sophocles’ Oedipus. Both spoken and sung, the stage will be filled with talented Montreal voices coming together for the first creative development stage of this important play. Oedipus Part One: Assembly is a powerful depiction of a city-wide crisis centering on King Oedipus’ quest to rid Thebes of a devastating plague brought on by a mysterious curse. The play opens with a group of citizens supplicating at Oedipus’ palace gates, but we quickly learn that these protests are occurring throughout the metropolis. It is against this backdrop of civic collectivity that the truth of Oedipus’ past violence and present taboo-filled turmoil comes to light. Friday, October 20 @ 7:30PM Saturday, October 21 @ 7:30PM Sunday, October 22 @ 1:30PM 15$ General Admission
