Play: Notes
Ever wondered what’s the big deal with a particular play or playwright?
Was Romeo really worth it? What exactly was Oedipus’ complex? Who was Antigone antagonising? And why was a play about vaginas revolutionary for its time?
This is where Play: Notes comes in.
Join Dramaturgs Emily Duncan and Allison Horsley as they give you the need-to-know notes on plays that have influenced how we watch, read, and think about theatre.
Warning: Contains mature themes, language, and spoilers.
Play:Notes is produced by Prospect Park NZ and engineered by Otago Access Radio. Season Two original theme music is by Matthew Morgan.

Play: Notes
Oedipus Rex
Long before the invention of the combustion engine Sophocles showed us that road rage never pays. In the first of three episodes on Greek Tragedy, we meet Oedipus the King and get our brains and tongues around hamartia, hubris, and catharsis.
Content Warning: Discussion of incest and suicide.
Thanks for listening! Please consider leaving us a rating and a review.
