Oedipus The King - a directors statement about the play

Hey.

For my Drama Assignment I have to write a directors statement about the play
"Oedipus the King"
I have never done it before and have no clue how to do it.
Your help would be fantastic.
Thanks Caro

Do a Google search for "director's statement'. Read the examples that you find, and model your own assignment on them. Then post your draft here for more detailed feedback.

I already did that.
My actual problem is that I'm from germany and I don't understand the play in old english so I can't write anything about it.

Um, last I checked, Oedipus was an ancient Greek play. I assume you are reading it in translation. If you find the translation you are reading confusing, find one that you are more comfortable with, one that you would think of as "contemporary" English. Even if you have been assigned a particular translation, you can switch between them to make sense of it. Good luck.

thanks:) I will try that.
