The Gospel at Colonus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The Gospel at Colonus" is a gospel version of Sophocles's tragedy, Oedipus at Colonus. The show was created in New York in 1985 by Lee Breuer, the experimental-theatre director, and composer Bob Telson. Breuer and Telson hand over the storytelling duties to a black Pentecostal preacher and the parishioners of his church, who in turn translate the story of Oedipus's torment and redemption into a Christian parable. A television version starred Morgan Freeman as the preacher.
