In March 2019 the VIU Theatre Department reimagined the fifth-century tragedy Oedipus Rex, exploring through a Canadian lens one really bad day in the life of the Greek hero whose pride impedes a critical cold-case investigation. In this talk, director Eliza Gardiner will explore how Oedipus’ conflict with the law compares with contemporary perspectives about criminal behaviour, revealing that when vengeance is in play, the punishment can never fit the crime.
