Oedipus for Kids is a musical parody of the greek myth Oedipus. Contrary to its name, it is not intended for children.
[edit] The story
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Oedipus for Kids' premise revolves around three members of the Fuzzy Ducks Theatre Company, whose purpose is to bring the classics to children via theatre. For some reason, after recently acclaimed productions such as Titus Andronicus Bakes a Cake and Uncle Tommy's Cabin, the artistic director has decided that this week's classic should be the Greek myth of Oedipus.
Spoilers end here.
