Following their highly acclaimed unconventional performance of Shakespeare’s Macbeth in 2023, the Goblins will be making a triumphant return to the Meighen Forum in 2025. Taking on another roller-coaster theatrical classic, Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex, audiences can anticipate glorious drama with unearthly charm as the Goblins are determined to delve deeper into the Dionysian degeneracy of the human race, dissecting the dithyrambic to offer up a cautionary tale of patricide, incest and eye-gouging comedy.

The production contains adult themes and occasional use of strong language that some people may find offensive. We recommend it for audiences 18 years and older.
