Oedipus on Broadway Tickets

Hailed as a “tightly sprung, gasp-inducing, modern-day political tale of truth and lies” (The Guardian), Icke’s visionary revival was nothing short of a sensation. After opening at London’s Wyndham’s Theatre, Oedipus became an instant phenomenon and became the highest-grossing limited-run production in Wyndham’s history. “Electric” (Observer) and urgent, it didn’t just bring Greek tragedy back to the West End—it redefined it. Named the Observer’s No. 1 Best of Culture 2024, this Oedipus played like a political thriller, gripping audiences in breathless suspense until its final, devastating moment. It’s election night. The polls predict a landslide victory. Everything is about to change. After his revelatory Oresteia, Icke (1984, The Doctor) transforms Sophocles’ epic tragedy into an essential, explosive, sensual human thriller catapulting the secrets of the past into a high-stakes present. Led by Olivier Award winners and current 2025 nominees Mark Strong and Lesley Manville, this production “set the stage on fire” (The Guardian). Icke’s production of Oedipus has been nominated for four 2025 Olivier Awards, including Best Director and Best Revival of a Play, cementing this production as one of the most celebrated theatrical events of the year.
