Story of King OEDIPUS. Story teller Sambhu Mitra. It is recorder in Bengali. Sambhu Mitra is all time great theater personality of Bengal. His drama, recitation, storytelling is fantastic. It’s like a drawing on the canvas of mind only using his voice. All theater lover can learn lot of thing from him, his work.
This is a story of King OEDIPUS, a mythical Greek king of Thebes. A tragic hero in Greek mythology, Oedipus accidentally fulfilled a prophecy that he would end up killing his father and marrying his mother, thereby bringing disaster to his city and family.
The story of Oedipus is the subject of Sophocles' tragedy Oedipus Rex, which is followed in the narrative sequence by Oedipus at Colonus and then Antigone. Together, these plays make up Sophocles' three Theban plays. Oedipus represents two enduring themes of Greek myth and drama: the flawed nature of humanity and an individual's role in the course of destiny in a harsh universe.
Story is very old. More than 2500 years. But still relevant in lot of sense.
