Audio Described/Touch Tour OEDIPUS EL REY Plays at Victory Gardens Tonight, 7/22

The Audio Described/Touch Tour performance of Oedipus el Rey at Victory Gardens Theater originally scheduled for July 29 has now been moved to today, July 22 to account for the Taste of Lincoln street festival that will be taking place. Oedipus el Rey by Luis Alfaro will be directed by Chay Yew and runs now through July 29, 2012.

In Luis Alfaro's thrilling reboot of the daddy of all tragedies, a young Chicano ex-con sets out on a journey to be the king of the South Central LA gangland. Oedipus el Rey is a sexy, modern take on a classic.
