Oedipus' personal and political tragedies unfold together in this modern version of a Greek play.
As powerful and finely calculated a dramatic experience as I can recall on television recently. (DAILY TELEGRAPH) Edge of the seat drama is so rare on TV that this new version, especially geared to the close-up demands of the small screen is something of an event.
