Description
Muthaf**ka! Literally. A darkly funny piece, Oedipus Doesn’t Live Here Anymore guides us through classic mythology with a new lens. When the neighbours of sleepy Australian suburbia see Oedipus’ garage smeared with incriminating graffiti, we’re led on a tale of desperation, gossip, and reputation. Visceral, demanding, and delightfully devious, we're sure to keep the whole town talking.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

A great watch taking you through a modernised story in a really engaging way. Really impressive multi-roling and clear storytelling with funny and moving moments alike. Eirene (?) was definitely my favourite of the many characters introduced

I was really amazed by the quality of acting, all 4 actors were able to embody extremely convincing characters which created a very naturalistic performance. I also liked the way the plot was split into smaller sections as it kept it fast paced and engaging throughout. Overall very impressed, it was an entertaining but also thought provoking, inspiring watch!
