Desperate to escape the infamous prophecy that he will murder his father and marry his mother, Oedipus flees his home in Corinth for the city of Thebes. But out there in the badlands lurks the terrifying Sphinx, with her questions — part monster, part seductress, part game-show host. Is there really a way out from what Fate has decreed? Can Oedipus and Jocasta really re-write the story after all this time? SPHINX is a gripping reinvention of the classic Greek myth for modern audiences.
