A short play following reading the Odyssey was a nice relief, and therefore I have a positive opinion on this one. It's a classic Greek tragedy, set following the story of Oepidus, and exploring the fate of his children, a fate in which they are all doomed to meet such worse than he. Whereas, the plot is largely basic. I'd knock it down for this but as I was appreciative of a basic plot in these last 2 days I instead cut stars due to characters. These of whom entirely lack dimension and therefore you struggle to root for them. Despite this, I'm reluctant to bash it too much as for the 70 pages of length it is, not much more can be done.
