I'm going to Haddonfield HS this week to talk about Oedipus.  Last year,
was *Medea*.  Both times they were using lousy translations, and I'm going
to recommend S. Murnaghan's *Medea *for future use.  Now a number of
teachers are asking for recommendations of a good cheap modern Oedipus.
Not having taught this for a while, I'm asking others what they would
recommend.  I'd welcome any suggestions.

These are smart students, and the HS elective system allows a full semester
on Greek Drama. They have a very able teacher.  I wish every public
education system were as lucky.  (Underside of this: recent finding that
the most segregated area of this highly segregated state (NJ) is the
Philadelphia corridor.  Haddonfield has a lot of work ahead.)

Best,
