Playing the Role OF Oedipus Rex

Playing Oedipus has allowed me to expand my acting skills because Oedipus is a young king who has several emotions and feelings that change rapidly . Oedipus may have solved the riddle of the sphinx for the citizens of Thebes, but he has not found out how to solve this horrible plague that is affecting everyone in the city. With the help of Teiresias and other characters, Oedipus is told that the only way he can stop this plague is to find the murderer of Laius, who was former king of Thebes, and turns out to be Oedipus' biological father. Oedipus is a wonderful character that I'm happy to be playing because I get to be a man who tries to be confident,clever, bold, determined,and a killer without knowing it - all the things actors rarely get to do all in one shot.
