LOCATION:Malaspina Theatre at Vancouver Island University :: 900 5th Street Nanaimo, V9R 5S5
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p>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&rsquo; 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.</p>
