Jocasta
Synopsis:
Oedipus gave us a complex, but Sandra Perlman's play, Jocasta, engages us in a battle for control over destiny begging the question, did she ever really have a choice? Do we? Jocasta takes the Queen from her upcoming marriage to the stranger named Oedipus to the moment when those crushing revelations about their past will seal their fate. From ancient Greece to modern American myth, Perlman puts flesh and bones, comedy and tragedy into the woman behind the myth.
