I only wish Audible had the rest of the Theban plays with this cast and caliber of direction.

I, myself, love a good brit accent - in truth....makes my knees go weak, but I know many Americans can't decipher them - so this is done by American actors - very good ones, so if that is a concern for you - you will enjoy this production.
"Count no may happy 'til he's dead...." Sophocles.

Though this play by Socrates is short and has a very simple storyline, it still contains a powerful message: some things are out of our control and in the hands of a higher power, and no matter how we fight against it, the will of God (or fate, depending what you believe in) cannot be overcome. Sometimes, though not all the time, we end up being like Oedipus and causing the very thing to happen while spending our lives doing everything we can to prevent it (Also think of Anakin/Darth Vader; in his quest and desire to save Padme and bring balance to the Force he ultimately brought about the death of his wife and the rise of the Sith and the Empire). Many times the results are not so huge, though they can still impact us negatively.
Oedipus also committed horrible acts by murdering his father and marrying and having children with his mother. Even though he never intentionally meant to do these things, they were detestible by the gods nonetheless and he was punished for them. Often times we think there should only be punishents for actions if they were intentional, but there are always consequences to actions, whether committed intentionally or not. Oedipus lived an honorable life and did many good things for Thebes but those two unintentional and accidental choices he made finally ruined him, despite all the good choices and good things he had done.
The importance of our actions and how they affect ourselves and other is an important aspect of this play, but I think the primary motif is that everything is in the hands of God, or in this case, the gods, who has control over everything and lets nothing happen by accident. What he wills to happen must happen, no matter what force it is met with.
Overall the performance of the play was excellent, with highly-trained actors who completely brought the story to life. Though there were very few sound effects and music, the quality of the actors made up for it. Many audio books I've used are somewhat of a drag to get though and have tolerable to moderate performances, but I was fully immersed in this particular audio. Highly recommend as a first choice for Oedipus the King.
