The Gospel at Colonus
Lee Breuer Price: $12.99
Inspired by the faith at the heart of African-American Christianity, Lee Breuer and composer Bob Telson have taken the Oedipus story and turned it into a musical play
Writing at the end of his own long life, in Oedipus at Colonus Sophocles depicts his doomed hero's final hours - at the moment of his death the aged Oedipus is free at last
Envisioning this meditation on mortality as a rousing service in a black church, Lee Breuer has created a remarkable text based on Robert Fitzgerald's splendid translation
"I've been in a lotta shows in my life, and I've thought a lot of 'em were pretty good but this is a masterpiece" ~ Morgan Freeman
" ... a triumph of reconciliation, bringing together black and white, pagan and Christian, ancient and modern in a sunburst of joy" ~ Newsweek
