Oedipus DNA is a theme/topic stimulated performance-making project, using the ancient Oedipus mythology, philosophy, biomedicine, science and sociology as source material.  This new work explores the moral, social and personal implications of developing genetic technology through the Oedipus myth. Weaving a young pregnant couple’s dilemmas and the Oedipus mythology, a chorus of scientists pose pertinent questions on how modern science effects our lives.

Conceived by Naomi Edwards and Megan Price, Oedipus DNA is currently in development.  The aim is to create a devised theatre piece with a strong visual and text based aesthetic.
