The Coffeyville Community College Theater Department brings a classic Greek tragedy play to the stage of the Spencer Rounds Theater this week.

 The play Oedipus Rex was written around 420 BC by the ancient writer Sophocles. Only seven of Sophocles' plays have survived to the modern day and of those, this play is regarded as his finest work. CCC's Ashley Tatman says the play explores some universal themes.

Performances include tomorrow and Friday at 7pm and Saturday at 2pm. Admission is free.
