Tableau 5: The Cardinal's study In the Martinsburg
by Philip VELLACOTT
The story of Oedipus stands out among ancient myths for its dramatic quality. Has it any religious or moral meaning? Did Sophocles think it had? The answer Philip Vellacott proposes may illuminate other problems in the play.
Mr. Vellacott has translated The
Bacchae of Euripides and many other classical tragedies.
Tableau 6: In the Odenwald
Tableau 7: Mathis's studio in Mains
or Things are Almost Back to Normal by Tadeusz Rozewicz translated and adapted by ANN Czerniawski and ADAM Czerniawski with Donald Pleasence , Nigel Stock and John Moffatt
This play by the Polish poet TadeuszRozewicz (born 1921) deals with the subject of the instability of our world-East as well as West-and is made up of three parts only related in theme, rather like the movements of a sonata.
