''Greek'' is a play by Steven Berkoff. It was first performed at the Half Moon Theatre in London on 11 February 1980, in a production directed by the author. The cast was: *Eddy & Fortune-teller: Barry Philips *Dad & Manager of cafe: Matthew Scurfield *Wife, Doreen & Waitress 1: Linda Marlowe *Mum, Sphinx & Waitress 2: Janet Amsden It is a retelling of Sophocles' ''Oedipus Rex''. Berkoff wrote: "''Greek'' came to me via Sophocles, trickling its way down the millenia until it reached the unimaginable wastelands of Tufnell Park ... In my eyes, Britain seemed to have become a gradually decaying island, preyed upon by the wandering hordes who saw no future for themselves in a society which had few ideals or messages to offer them." 〔 The play was used as the basis for a well-received opera of the same name composed by Mark-Anthony Turnage and first performed in 1988.〔Ewans, Michael, (''Opera from the Greek: Studies in the poetics of appropriation'' ), Ashgate Publishing, Ltd., 2007, p. 183.
