Ripped Ol' Sophicles a New One Today

Okay, not really, but we were suppose create a short parody episode based on the play Odipus Rex in my theater class today (they SERIOUSLY have this as a summer college course?!). I got to play the the part of Odipus during the begining stages of the play. In our version, he was a heavy drinker who became CEO of IBM after the previous CEO was mysteriously murdered last week.

Another one of our characters was the blind prophet, that we turned into Terry: A poor pothead that would give you "visions" for the right price.

If you ever read this play or know anything about Odipus, you may guess where all this went. I argued with Terry until she left, with me threatening to call the authorities.

I just realized that our character Terry was much like the one for Reno 911, except ours was female. Ah, classic literature mixed with the modern age...

 

OMG

TUMMERa
