They are joined by Nicholas Khan as Creon, Joseph Mydell as Corinthian, Cecilia Noble as Tiresias and Nicholas Woodeson as Shepherd. Completing the cast of Oedipus are dancers from the Hofesh Shechter Company. This includes Justine Gouache, Charles Heinrich, Kenny Wing Tao Ho, Adam Khazhmuradov, Kim Kohlmann, Oscar Jinghu Li, Yen-Ching Lin, Rachelle Scott, Jian-Hui Wang and Zee Zunnur.
Oedipus is playing at The Old Vic from 21 January - 29 March 2025.
