If a person commits a crime, but does not know it is a crime, are they guilty?
Barnstorm’s Youth Theatre presented an epic tale of Greek tragedy, ‘The House of Oedipus’, a story of one man’s family doomed from the beginning. Following on from the success of William Shakespeare’s thrilling tale of ambition and destruction ‘Macbeth’ and Dawn King’s near future dystopian cautionary fable ‘The Trials’, Barnstorm Youth Theatre took on the world of gods and men.
‘The House of Oedipus’ has a cast of 17 young Kilkenny people who present this tale of Oedipus, a man who kills his father and marries his mother with dire consequences. Are pride and stubbornness the cause Oedipus’ downfall or did he commit some unknown sin against the Gods? Weaving four Greek tragedies together, this full-length play brought us three generations, two countries, five kings, two plagues and one war.
