Featuring guests from The Huntington's production of "Oedipus el Rey," running May 7 - June 7, 2026.Disenchanted with the daily drudge of crushing rocks on a prison farm in Mississippi, the dapper, silver-tongued Ulysses Everett McGill (George Clooney) busts loose.Except he's still shackled to his own chain-mates from the chain gang: bad-tempered Pete (John Turturro), and sweet, dimwitted Delmar (Tim Blake Nelson).
With nothing to lose and buried loot to regain—before it's lost forever in a flood—the three embark on the adventure of a lifetime in this hilarious offbeat road picture. Populated with strange characters, including a blind prophet, sexy sirens, and a one-eyed Bible salesman (John Goodman), it's an odyssey filled with chases, close calls, near misses, music and betrayal that will leave you laughing at every outrageous and surprising twist and turn.
The Huntington's production of Oedipus el Rey runs May 7 - June 7, 2026 at The Roberts Theatre in The Calderwood Pavilion
