About
July 5 to September 19, 2026 Douglas Campbell Theatre
A riotous reinvention, Goblin:Oedipus is performed by the wildly popular Goblins—Wug, Kragva, and Moog—whose irreverent take on Macbeth delighted audiences at Bard on the Beach in 2023. This time, the trio brings their chaotic curiosity and hilarious audience interaction to a fresh retelling of Sophocles’ tragic myth Oedipus the King, adapted by John Murrell. Amid a deadly plague that grips Thebes, Oedipus vows to uncover the murderer of the previous king, only to set himself on a path of shocking self-discovery. Determined to delve deeper into the Dionysian degeneracy of the human race, three Goblins offer up a cautionary tale of patricide, incest, and eye-gouging comedy that you won’t forget.
This production is for audiences that are 18 years of age and older. It contains adult themes and strong language that some people may find offensive.
