The production is slated for presentation the last three days of Newberry County’s Tricentennial Week, Nov. 12, 13, and 14. The play is based on the re ligious Greek legend of the curse placed on the house of Laius by the Greek God of Truth, Apollo. Because this oracle warned Laius that he would die at the hands of his son, he bound his infant son’s feet together and left him on a lonely mountain to die. Years later when Laius was slain, it was reported that a band of robbers had killed him The matter was not care fully investigated because The bes was in a state of panic at the time. The country was beset by a monster Spinx in the shape of a winged lion The Spinx seized all travelers near the city and devoured them because they were unable to answer a riddle she put to them. The seven great gates which were the The- bian’s pride remained closed, famine drew near to the citizens. So matters stood when there came into the stricken country a stranger, a man of great cou rage and great intelligence, Oe dipus (played by Allen Witt, Lake City, Fla soph.). Oedipus was homeless and friendless; a man to whom life meant little. He determined to seek out the Spinx and to try to solve the riddle. Because he supplied the correct answer, the Spinx kil led herself and the Thebians were saved. The grateful citi zens made him their King and he married the dead King’s wife, Jocasta. played by Connie Ric- kenbakcr, Conway, sr ). When their sons had grown to manhood, Thebes was visited by a terrible plague. Those who were spared death by disease faced death by famine. Oedipus regarded himself as the father of the whole state; the people in it were his children; the mi sery of each one was his too. He dispatched Jocasta’s brother, Creon (played by Wally Whit worth. Columbia, fr.) to Delphi to implore the God’s help. It is here that Sophocles’ play begins.
