Anthony Quayle as Oedipus, and Juliet Stevenson plays Antigone.
Sophocles' "Oedipus at Colonus" (1984) TV broadcast.
my VHS tape of this broadcast isn't as good as the "Oedipus the King", especially the audio.

Dude in the beginning has one of those suave, "I'm really a serial killer" kinds of vibes going on.

I will not endure it! What kind of black magician did conjure up this commenter? This ruins the play more than a commercial break would? Worse than reading a text with comments and footnotes!!!
