'Time turns, sets a backward course, starts for the start with speed: the fragile moments drop unravelling, reversing, unwound, back to the beginning.' Election night. The polls predict a landslide victory. Everything is about to change. Award-winning writer and director Robert Icke transforms Sophocles' epic tragedy into an essential and explosive political thriller. First performed in Dutch in 2018 at Internationaal Theater Amsterdam and the Edinburgh International Festival, this arresting version of Oedipus received its English-language premiere at Wyndham's Theatre in London's West End in 2024, produced by Sonia Friedman Productions, and starring Mark Strong and Lesley Manville. The production won Icke the Best Director Award at the 2025 Critics' Circle Theatre Awards, as well as Best Actor and Best Actress for its leads, and transferred to Broadway in December 2025. Robert Icke is one of the most visionary figures in theatre today, celebrated for his contemporary re-imaginings of classic texts by Shakespeare, Schiller, Chekhov, Aeschylus and Ibsen.

These poems of memory and girlhood are powerful evocations of the changing body and the male gaze. A raw, absurdist humour provides a sense of defiance throughout, and the tone is in turns sad, angry, rue.– Hannah LoweZum Buch
Knock-knock! Who’s there? Ultimately for all, it will be age. At first, it seems like a bad joke—needing a cane, memory loss, more care, forgetting even one’s own name. In Knock-knock, Lewis creates the persona of an older physician who should’ve known what’s in store. Sometimes the reality is grim, but there’s humor, love, and even romance in his inventive and poetic story-telling. “Lost-and-found / is not a planned / destination.” Yet we all eventually find ourselves there.Zum Buch
