Sonia Friedman Productions (SFP) today release behind the scenes photography of Mark Strong and Lesley Manville during the cast photoshoot for Oedipus, a new adaptation created by Robert Icke after Sophocles.

The strictly limited run at Wyndham’s Theatre opens on Tuesday 15 October, with previews from Friday 4 October 2024, and runs until Saturday 4 January 2025.

Behind every great man is a great woman. 

       

Election night. The polls predict a landslide victory. Everything is about to change.

 Starring the internationally renowned, multi-award-winning Mark Strong and Lesley Manville, Sophocles’ epic tragedy is transformed into an essential, explosive human thriller.
