Porters of Hellsgate's first Dramaturgy blog

This blog will serve as a source of dramaturgical information for the cast and creative team of Oedipus the Tyrant. Each post focuses on research relevant to our translation, the directions we're choosing to take with this production, and any other answers to questions presented by the cast and crew.
As the blog grows, please explore the Blog Archive and Labels sections for specific topics since the posts are ordered chronologically.
