Ancient Greek Theatre Comprehension Test: Oedipus Rex

// Time for some Guess and Check //

Given the film version of the Canadian Stratford Festival Version of the William Butler Yeats adaptation of the play Oedipus Rex by Sophocles, the goal was to try and understand the story of the play as completely as possible according to the following rules:

- I was only allowed to watch the full play one time.
- During that one time, I was only allowed to hit pause two times, but was allowed to use those two pauses whenever.
- I was not allowed to rewind or rewatch any part of the play.
- I was allowed to take all the notes I could while the play was running.

The first half of the episode is my best guess at understanding the plot from the play, the second part is an actual plot summary of Oedipus Rex to check and see how we did.
